Abstract :
User friendly human interfaces have received great attention recently. Our goal is to realize a natural human-machine communication environment by giving a face to the computer terminal or communication system. In order to construct such an interface, a real synthesised image in real-time is needed. In this paper, we develop a real-time media conversion system and examine the communication between the user and a virtual agent with a human face on the computer monitor
