It considers the use of AI as a component of a VE and Intelligent Virtual Agents as a major application area, covering movement, sensing, behaviour and control architectures. It surveys work on emotion and natural language interaction, and considers interactive narrative as a case-study. It concludes by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the current state-of-the-art and what might take it forward.
