Abstract
In spite of recent increase in the use of avatar systems in Web and Virtual Reality, there has not been a service that allows users to control directly the avatar behaviors. In addition, the conventional behavior control languages required a lot of complicated information for controlling the behaviors, so that users had difficulty using them. To apply written languages to a different task domain, moreover, it was necessary to modify or rewrite the languages. In this paper, for the avatar behavior control more simply define, “Task-Level Behavior Description Language,” which allows description the avatar behaviors in each task domain and “Motion Representation Language,” which enables writing detailed data for motion control. The system, developed in this paper, “included an Interpreter,” which automatically creates the Motion Representation Language, allowing users to easily control the avatar behaviors simply with the Behavior Description Language. The system was also applied to cyber classes, and the Task-level Behavior Description Language was compared with conventional languages to see how it was more effective in behavior description.
