Abstract
We present a prototype implementation of a natural language interface to an animation system. The interface provides the means for a human user to issue commands in natural language to an avatar in a virtual reality environment. The purpose of our system is to convert the input text into commands in an animation script language and execute them. Our system uses a general-purpose parser and a domain-specific semantic interpreter based on pattern matching.
