Project Details
- "OttoAndIris.com is a playful theme park filled with fun activities in a 3D world. The core elements of the park are two interactive characters, Otto and Iris. These characters are constructed using animation, believable agent, and interactive drama technology developed by Zoesis Studios, a spin-off from Carnegie Mellon University's Oz project, which has focused on these research areas since 1987."
- "The two core elements of this new art form are interactive characters that seem truly real and story technology that can subtly guide the experience to fulfill the author's intent. OttoAndIris.com was designed to achieve the first of these: the art and technology of interactive characters. In the course of its development, advances were also made in interactive story guidance and interactive music."
