Prototype of Cyber Assistant Professor: CAP

To reduce the production cost of 3D-CG educational contents for e-Learning system and to improve the capability of self-learning system, we developed a new self-learning system based on the Cyber Person. Cyber Person is a Human Shaped Software Robot by using 3D Computer Graphics and Speech Synthesis technologies. This system includes 3DCG stage, many kind of stage parts (3D-CG shaped models, Photographs or Text Panels) and Cyber Person(s). Because Cyber Person acts as a virtual teacher, we named it Cyber Assistant Professor (CAP). In CAP system, educational contents can be written by Script Language named Cyber Person Scenario Language 2 (CPSL2). CPSL2 is a Tag-based hypertext language like a HTML, which describes a scenario of 3D-CG interactive animation. CAP Browser converts this scenario to the real-time interactive 3D-CG animation, which is NOT a rendering movie. CAP can instruct the educational subject by using Body Action, Facial Expression and Voice Speaking. And many stage par...
