Description:
This is a demonstration of futuristic “hands-on” teleconferencing. Attendees talk not only to people but also to computers at remote sites. These computers have personable characters with expressive faces capable of synchronized synthetic speech and of understanding limited spoken language. Facial articulations, speech, and visual information are directed by a remote server and the images transmitted to the client machine via a network, thereby enabling limited discourse with these personable computers.
