Virtual Bots

 

Virtual characters, or bots, can play an important role in online learning and training within virtual 3D environments. Bots can role play in recreated scenarios, and interact with learners.


They may simply act, or react, according to specified dialog and learning storyline. They may also be embedded with artificial intelligent engines in support of free-form dialog. Either way, they are an effective component in replicating real world scenarios for training purposes.
