Abstract
There is an ongoing desire to make virtual humans a more accessible
tool for use in entertainment, training, and evaluations. From the
graphical level to the animation level to the intelligence
level,complexities abound. As research progresses some of these
complexities become hidden from the end user. Ultimately, we would like
to treat agents as real humans and instruct them as you might another
person. Here we present a framework, inspired by natural language
constructs, that aims to obfuscate the complexities and allow users to
control virtual humans through structured English input. Our focus is on
object and environment interactions, particularly spatial relationships.
