Title
Smart Body
Goal
To alink a Large Language Model to a Smartbody character
Description
Smartbody is a behaviour realisation system for a 3D animated character created at the Institute for Creative Technology at University of Southern California - see https://smartbody.ict.usc.edu/. It can take commends in Behaviour Markup Language (BML) and animate a character or characters, either in its own rendering system or in a games engine such as Unity. This project will select a Large Language Model (like ChatGTP etc), interface that to a sentiment analyser, and link both to a SmartBody character which will say the LLM output with appropriate expressive behaviour. A demo will be created in which the user plays a character is a small story episode and the Smartbody character will be evaluated for how successful it is in responding as an exprressive character.
