Profile

Topic of the doctoral thesis

Virtual environments are artificial computer worlds in which people can learn and train skills for the real world. In such environments, potentially life-threatening situations can be repeated and varied almost as often as desired without exposing users to real danger. Other simulated participants (software agents) are often also part of the virtual world, helping or hindering users in the fulfilment of training objectives. The behaviour of these "agents" can make a significant contribution to making the virtual environment credible and thus reinforcing the learning effect. Doctoral student Sven Seele is therefore investigating how agent behaviour can be generated by simulating cognitive processes in such a way that the simulation appears as plausible as possible, can be controlled easily and users can experience the simulation interactively at the same time. The modelling of personality, emotions and perception plays a decisive role here.
