van Welbergen H, Reidsma D, Ruttkay ZM, Zwiers J. Elckerlyc. A BML Realizer for continuous, multimodal interaction with a Virtual Human. Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces. 2010;3(4):271-284.“Elckerlyc” is a BML Realizer for generating multimodal verbal and nonverbal behavior for Virtual Humans (VHs). The main characteristics of Elckerlyc are that (1) it is designed specifically for continuous interaction with tight temporal coordination between the behavior of a VH and its interaction partner; (2) it provides a mix between the precise temporal and spatial control offered by procedural animation and the physical realism of physical simulation; and (3) it is designed to be highly modular and extensible, implementing the architecture proposed in SAIBA
