	Goal : Build Intelligent Avatar Development Frameworks What is ubiAvatar? Proactively reacts according to ubiAvatar’s affect and drive. (Proactive) Generates the autonomous behavior patterns suitable for ubiAvatar’s personality. (Autonomous) Learns and evolves ubiAvatar’s motivations and behavior patterns. (Evolutionary) Fig.1 The realization of ubiAvatar in VE vr-UCAM (A Unified Context-aware Application Model for Virtual Enviornments) Build the Framework for designing Context-aware life-like objects Apply context-awareness to virtual objects Offers the personalized reactions according to context Interacts with human participants in real time and Shows adaptation suitable for the situation Fig.2The diagram of vrUCAM Fig.3 Key Components in vrUCAM Core Technolgies 1. Context-based Perception Engine Extract information of user's interaction through vision-based intuitive user interface Offer tangible objects for natural interaction with virtual environments Seamlessly integrate real and virtual environments by exploitng augmented reality(AR) technologies Fig.4 ARTable 2. Adaptive Motivation Engine Design the Self-growing Affect & Drive Engine Manage states of affect and drive of intelligent objects Develope adaptive movitation-driven learning mechanisms Fig.5 Motivation Engine Fig.5 Context Flow in Motivation Engine 3. Evolutionary Behavior Engine Design Self-growing Behavior network Generate new behaviors by combining basic behavior sets Develop adaptive behavior selection algorithms Determine proper behaviors by the input of Perception and Motivaion Engine Applications RMS : Responsive Multimedia System (demo) vrFlora: Reactive Multimedia Contents in Smart Home Environments (demo) GardenAlive:An Interaction enabled intelligent garden (demo) Publications Sejin Oh, Youngho Lee, Woontack Woo, "vr-UCAM2.0 for Designing Reactive Cyber Space," ubiCNS05, pp. 000-000, 2005. published Youngmin Park, Woontack Woo, "Context based AR Interaction Table using Tangible Objects," UbiCNS, pp. 000-000, 2005. published Youngmin Park, Woontack Woo, "ARTable: AR based Interaction System using Tangible Objects," KCC05, pp. 523-525, 2005. published Sejin Oh, Youngho Lee, Woontack Woo, "Seamless Interactions between Real and Virtual Environments," International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction(HCII05), pp. 000-000, 2005. published Sejin Oh, Youngho Lee, Woontack Woo, "Reactive Multimedia Contents in Smart Home Environments," Workshop of Situating Ubiquitous Computing in Everyday Life: Bridging the Social and Technical Divide , ubiComp05, pp. 1-4, 2005. published Sejin Oh, Youngho Lee, Woontack Woo, "vrFlora: Reactive Multimedia Contents in Smart Home Environments," ubiComp 05, pp. 000-000. published Youngho Lee, Sejin Oh, Beom-chan Lee, Jeung-Chul Park, Youngmin Park, Yoo Rhee Oh, Seokhee Lee, Han Oh, Jeha Ryu, Kwan H.
