Description:
Artificial intelligence computer algorithms compete with each other in a game show setting where they attempt to pass the Turing test and gain acceptance as human. This work demonstrates new animation techniques. The 3D digital actors have been designed to perform and render in real time over the Internet and were recorded to video directly from the display of a standard PC. The characters’ dialogue was created from text using text-to-speech engine or sychronized to real-voice audio clips. The digital actors were “directed” using a mark-up language to describe behaviors and expressions, with real-time interactive playback.
