ITR/(PE+SY): Responsive Virtual Human Technology Research

ITR/\（PE+SY\）：响应式虚拟人技术（RVHT）被用于不同的领域（计算机生成的部队，制造业，医学，戏剧），但不是用于交互技能培训。然而，互动技能通常是至关重要的。确定的具体情况下，提高互动技能将是重要的，包括：医生采取病人的历史或与儿童互动;法律官员处理涉及精神疾病，创伤，或暴力的危机情况;和军事人员采访难民或解决强调civilies.This项目将解决多个研究问题相关的RVHT达到强大的互动技能培训所需的复杂性。需要回答的重要问题包括： 如何在正常条件下对行为进行建模（即，平静的成年人）和衍生条件（例如，愤怒、精神分裂症、疼痛和童年）？ 用户会将哪些表情、手势、动作和其他行为解释为平静、愤怒、精神分裂、痛苦或孩子气？哪些技能可以通过RVHT获得、练习和验证？在提供一个令人信服的模拟人类互动的地方，获得的技能转移到一个生活环境中，涉及到什么？研究结果将揭示一系列额外的培训和教育机会，例如采访危险行为和介绍罕见的创伤性事件。基于RVHT的培训和以教师为主导的培训相结合，可显著降低培训开发和交付成本，提高学生吞吐量，同时保持培训的有效性和一致性。

ITR/\(PE+SY\): Responsive Virtual Human Technology ResearchResponsive virtual human technology (RVHT) is used in diverse fields (computer generated forces, manufacturing, medicine, theater), but not for interaction skills training. Yet interaction skills are usually critical. Specific situations identified where improved interaction skills would be important include: Medical practitioners taking patient histories or interacting with children;Law officers handling crisis situations involving mental illness, trauma, or violence; and Military officers interviewing refugees or settling stressed civilians.This project will address multiple research issues relevant for RVHT to reach the sophistication required for robust interaction skills training. Important questions to be answered include: How is behavior modeled under normal conditions (i.e., a calm adult) and derivative conditions (e.g., anger, schizophrenia, pain, and childhood)? What expressions, gestures, movement, and other behaviors will users interpret as serene, angry, schizophrenic, pained, or childlike?What skills can be acquired, practiced, and validated using RVHT? What is involved in providing a convincing simulation of human interaction where acquired skills transfer to a live environment?The research results will expose a range of additional training and educational opportunities, such as interviewing risky behavior and presenting rare, traumatic events. Combinations of RVHT-based training and instructor-led training offer significantly reduced training development and delivery costs, and increased student throughput, while maintaining training effectiveness and consistency.
