Sažetak
Talking Virtual Characters are graphical simulations of real or imaginary persons capable of human-like behavior, most importantly talking and gesturing. They may find applications on the Internet as newscasters, customer service representatives, sales representatives, guides etc. We review the potential applications of Virtual Characters on the Internet, their technical requirements and current solutions, and present our approach to the problem. The presented system is an MPEG-4 Facial Animation decoder built in a Java applet and capable of rendering a talking Virtual Character in a standard Web browser without plug-ins.
