Abstract

This paper discusses the ability of IVAs to show group behaviour and act as a team, increasing their ‘believability’ as groups. We discuss the modelling of group behaviour based on the theory of interpersonal relations given by Schutz in IVAs by using FAtiMA-PSI architecture. A test scenario has been created and the next step is to test the implemented model on this.
