Hot for Virtual Teacher?
November 20, 2007 by sean.
Massey scientists at the Auckland-based Institute of Information and Mathematical Sciences, have created the world’s first affect-responsive virtual tutor:
Although Eve was developed for one-to-one maths teaching with eight-year-olds, she is a significant new character in the future of human computer interaction and could be a personalised virtual tutor by any name.
Linked to a child via computer, the animated character or virtual tutor can tell if the child is frustrated, angry or confused by the on-screen teaching session and can adapt the tutoring session appropriately. [via PhysOrg.com]
