Abstract

Emotion simulation is very useful for modeling believable virtual character in safety education software, in order to enhance the efficacy of emotion simulation for Web3D applications, a fuzzy productive rule-based emotion model is presented, it integrates the mechanism of emotion decay and emotion filtering, an emotion intensity is calculated by Mamdani inference model. A 3D virtual interactive virtual environment is built in Virtools, a virtual character with the emotion model can express emotion to others, the result shows that the emotion simulation can improve the friendly interface of online education software.
