Abstract

In this short paper, we evaluate the prospects of automatic dialogue script generation from text for presentation by a team of Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs). We describe an experiment comparing user perception and preference between plain text and video ECA presentations modes and between monologue and dialogue presentation styles. Our results show that most users are not indifferent of the presentation mode and the user’s preference is guided by the perceived understanding and enjoyment of the presentation.
