Abstract :
An emotion-based synthetic character (ESC) is proposed to enhance game entertainment and to highly personalize human-machine communication in games. The model of the ESC integrates emotional system with attention, intention and facial expression system. Forgetting characteristic of human is also simulated to make the ESC be equal to player characters. Fuzzy representation is used to capture the inherent uncertainty of emotion and cognition. As a result, an experiment implements the model.
