3D virtual classroom based on multi-agent

Abstract

By examining and analyzing present studies on existing 3D virtual classroom based on multi-agent, we realize that most researchers pay more attention to role-agent's design and function rather than environmental intelligence and support for teaching interaction. In contrast, we have created a 3D virtual classroom based on multi-agent technology as a teaching platform. In this paper, we describe the system structure, intelligent control of complex behaviors of user's avatar agent, intelligent tracking of teaching scenes and avatar's intelligent routing, etc. Finally, we demonstrate the actual visual effect of the 3D virtual classroom. User tests demonstrate that it presents intelligence well and can effectively support instructional interaction. © Springer-Verlag 2010.
