Research Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to design and develop a system where the essence, structure, and important or remarkable points of particular data or information are specified by a user and/or extracted automatically, and then a character animation is produced to explain them.
In 2005, we developed a system where a user specifies relationships among elements in tables, and then produce an animation. The relationships are represented in a tree structure. To produce an animation, the tree is traversed and the visited elements and relations are interpreted into presentation scenarios including speech texts and presenter's gestures. The interpretation rules are represented by templates.
In 2006, we first extended the system into one that can generate presentation animation for graphs as well as tables. In graphical presentations, the agent can explain the tendencies of sequences of values (for example, increasing or decreasing) as well as the remarkable points (for example, maximum or minimum). Next we studied the mechanism which automatically selects candidates of remarkable points with their features. It enables users to choose some of the candidates, and then the presentation animation explaining the chosen remarkable points is produced automatically.
The above work is presented in 5th IASTED International Conference on Visualization, Imaging (VIIP2005), and Image Processing and SIGGRAPH 2006 Research Posters.
