Virtual Reality for Training Doctors to Break Bad News
This project aims at exploring the question of multimodal natural language interaction, its theoretical basis and its experimentation into a virtual reality environment thanks to the development of an embodied conversational agent with high-level natural language communication skills. This naturally communicating virtual agent will be used in the framework of a specific task-oriented situation: training doctor to break bad news.
