Simmersion

SIMmersion human simulations are realistic enough to affect the user's experience base and change behavior. Actors are used to create life-like characters in challenging situations. The simulated people have memory and an advanced emotional model so that they respond to the user's statements as a real person would. Trainees interact with the simulated characters for a face-to-face conversation using a microphone or a mouse to communicate. User's statements are scripted to include a variety of natural choices. Simulated responses are scripted to emulate what real people would say at the current stage of the conversation given the motives and character of the simulated person. The result is a nearly free-form conversation that is different every time the simulation is used.
