Popis: As multimedia services have been generalized, users wish to interact with service providers while converting services as desired rather than being provided with one-sided services. This paper discusses script-based virtual actor control, which is one kind of such application for interactive drama or interactive cinema. The entire system is in the client/server form, where the client generates scenario graphs, which are a type of scripts, after receiving various scenario information for developing stories from the server providing the services, and it generates and shows other scenes according to its conversation with and the action of the user, while traversing the generated graphs. Information on the movements of virtual actors are all stored in the form of files, and are animated through a motion generation engine whenever necessary, while traversing the generated scenario graphs.
