Interface agents for interacting with virtual environments

Abstract

The basic rationale of my Ph.D. thesis is to enhance and simplify interaction with an interactive 3D graphical system. To relieve users from technical detail and allow them to communicate with the system in an intuitive and human-like manner, I am investigating three main aspects: adaptation to user preferences, multimodal input, and open and underspecified input. I use agent-based techniques to approach my solutions.
