Abstract :
In this paper we discuss a modular multi-sense perception system for DIVAs virtual agents. It is based on the idea that local environmental influences are constantly sensed by one or more of an agent´s senses (sight, hearing, smell, etc.). The perception system is extensible and modifiable and allows users to dynamically modify how an agent perceives its environment at execution time. This paper focuses on the modularity of the agent perception architecture rather than the perception algorithms themselves.
