Looking at past and current projects, the current paper discusses an ongoing and manifold evolution of embodied conversational agents from conversational settings with single presenters to interactive performances where the user may participate both as an observer and a presenter. We report on new trends, such as the integration of characters in mixed realities as well as endeavours to endow characters with social behaviors. © 2004 Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH Communications engineering / telecommunications nationallicence Data in computer systems nationallicence Systems management nationallicence André Elizabeth aut Dorfmüller-Ulhaas Klaus aut Rist Thomas aut it - Information Technology (vormals it+ti)/Methoden und innovative Anwendungen der Informatik und Informationstechnik Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH 46/6/2004(2004-06-01), 332-340 1611-2776 46:6/2004<332 2004 46 itit https://doi.org/10.1524/itit.46.6.332.54688 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1524/itit.46.6.332.54688 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- André Elizabeth aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Dorfmüller-Ulhaas Klaus aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Rist Thomas aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- it - Information Technology (vormals it+ti)/Methoden und innovative Anwendungen der Informatik und Informationstechnik Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag GmbH 46/6/2004(2004-06-01), 332-340 1611-2776 46:6/2004<332 2004 46 itit CC0 http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0 nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-gruyter
