Narrated Animation: A Case for Generation

Abstract

Our project rests on the belief that computer animation in the form of narrated animated simulations can provide an engaging, effective and flexible medium for instructing agents of varying capabilities to perform tasks that make varying demands in workplaces of varying layout. To this end, we have been designing and implementing an integrated system which combines: animated agents which can demonstrate the behavior to be emulated and automatic generation of appropriate Natural Language narration which can explain what is being done and why.
