Abstract
Systems and methods for automated control of human inhabited characters. In an example, control of human inhabited character may be achieved via a plurality of input devices, including, but not limited to, a microphone, a camera, or a hand-held controller, that can modify and trigger changes in the appearance and/or the behavioral response of a character during the live interactions with humans. In an example, a computing device may include a neural network that receives the input from the microphone and/or the camera and changes the appearance and/or the behavioral response of the character according to the input. Further, input from the hand-held controller may be used to adjust a mood of the character or, in other words, emphasize or deemphasize the changes to the appearance and/or the behavioral response of the character.
