Mimicry: Another Approach for Interactive Comedy

In this paper, we discuss another approach based on mimicry for interactive comedy, a relatively new genre in interactive drama. An interactive comedy system is proposed in which the main character agent tends to mimic an agent controlled directly by the viewer. At the same time, the main character agent plays its original role through achieving its pre-assigned goal. Heuristic Search Planner is used for dynamically planning of the main character agent. We test the proposed system with a visual comedy story similar to a sub-story of the popular Mr. BeanTM series.
