Artificial intelligence in virtual humans for teaching assistant training: A design and development case study

• In Event: D&D- Designing Immersive Learning Environments

Short Description

In this case study, we presented the design and development of AI-integrated virtual humans. In a forty-nine weeks design period, we collected data from project meeting notes, paper prototyping, and functional prototype user-testing sessions. The current results revealed that the archetype of virtual humans are feasible for supporting propelling dynamic interactions with human users via machine learning techniques. User-testing sessions also suggested that agent modeling achieved reasonable fidelity. Implications and significance were discussed.
