Wright State researchers to create culture-specific virtual humans for Army

((excerpt))

Skipper and fellow researcher Jennie Gallimore, Ph.D., director of Wright State University’s Center of Excellence in Human-Centered Innovation, have been awarded a grant to give soldiers realistic cultural training by creating virtual humans. These avatar-like figures would be infused with personality and actual cultural representations of behaviors, gestures, facial expressions, speech patterns, pose and both verbal and non-verbal cues.
