In this paper we present the Virtual Storyteller, a multi-agent framework for dynamic story creation that we developed as part of our research on virtual environments inhabited by autonomous embodied agents. One 3D environment built in our research group is a replica of a local theatre: the Virtual Music Centre (VMC). Here, visitors can meet various embodied agents that provide information or entertainment. This is a natural setting for the Virtual Storyteller, which uses an embodied, speaking agent to present the generated stories using appropriate prosody and gestures. In addition to this traditional form of storytelling, extensions to virtual drama are envisaged, where embodied characters act out the story on the stage of the VMC. In the following, we give an overview of the Virtual Storyteller and point out some future work.
