网络安全竞赛对于游戏参与者来说是令人兴奋的;然而，兴奋和教育价值并不一定转移到观众身上，因为观众可能不是该领域的专家。为了提高观众在这些活动中的理解和参与水平，我们提出了网络安全竞赛的虚拟评论员架构。基于该体系结构，我们开发了一个虚拟动画代理，作为一个评论员在网络安全竞争。这个虚拟解说员可以通过面部表情和相应的手势与观众互动。评论员可以提供几种类型的反馈，包括因果，祝贺，有害，辅助，背景和动机的反应。此外，当产生语音时，嘴唇，舌头和下巴提供视觉线索，补充听觉线索。虚拟评论员足够灵活，可以在大学网络防御竞赛环境中使用。我们的初步结果表明，该架构可以生成音素的时间戳和行为标签。这些时间戳和标签为实现所需的响应行为提供了坚实的构建块。
Cybersecurity competitions are exciting for the game participants; however, the excitement and educational value do not necessarily transfer to audiences because audiences may not be experts in the field. To improve the audiences’ comprehension and engagement levels at these events, we have proposed a virtual commentator architecture for cybersecurity competitions. Based on the architecture, we have developed a virtual animated agent that serves as a commentator in cybersecurity competition. This virtual commentator can interact with audiences with facial expressions and the corresponding hand gestures. The commentator can provide several types of feedback including causal, congratulatory, deleterious, assistive, background, and motivational responses. In addition, when producing speech, the lips, tongue, and jaw provide visual cues that complement auditory cues. The virtual commentator is flexible enough to be employed in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competitions environment. Our preliminary results demonstrate the architecture can generate phonemes with timestamps and behavioral tags. These timestamps and tags provide solid building blocks for implementing desired responsive behaviors.
