Motivation
Multimodal user interfaces are becoming more and more important in human–machine communication. Essential representatives of such interfaces are virtual agents that aim to act like humans in the way they employ gestures, facial expression, posture and prosody to convey their emotions in face-to-face communication. Furthermore, if we employ a presentation team [1] to convey facts, the performance becomes more entertaining for the audience. Distinct characters should have different roles and personality profiles. Moreover if we integrate interaction capabilities for the user, the system becomes more personalized and enjoyable.
