Abstract
To maintain the user's interest into a human-machine interaction using a virtual agent, we endowed this agent with communicative and interactive abilities, and allowed this agent to communicate socially and emotionally with the user. To this end, we present different models from giving an agent the ability to perceive its environment, to the ability display emotions.
