Abstract

Emotional virtual humans are essential to e-learning software, they can act NPC characters to guide a user, and they can enhance the interests of human-computer interface. How to model emotion is an interesting topic in the field of e-learning software. Based on psychology theory, architecture of an emotional virtual human is presented, it integrates perception, action, emotion, behavior and other mental variables together, human´s mental variables (motivation, personality, norm) are expressed in fuzzy sets, the model can support a quantitative method to control a virtual humanpsilas emotion.
