Multimodal Interaction with a Virtual Guide
Dennis H. W. Hofs, Mariët Theune, H.J.A. op den Akker · University of Twente Research Information · 2008

We briefly describe multimodal dialogue management, language and gesture generation, and a special feature of the Virtual Guide: the ability to align her linguistic style to the user’s level of politeness. 1
