Multi-Platform Intelligent Agents with the Virtual Human Toolkit

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The research and development (R&D) of intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) is inherently complex.We aim to manage this complexity by releasing a major update to the Virtual Human Toolkit, combining the best aspects of academic and commercial approaches into a principled R&D platform that emphasizes interoperability, extendability, re-use, and support for multiple hardware targets.We demonstrate the current status of the VHToolkit on Windows desktop and Quest 3 AR/VR headset.
