A Virtual Human?

People have talked for years about human-computer interaction becoming more natural. Justine Cassell, Director of the Center for Technology and Social Behavior, is conducting research about it.

She will present "Making (Virtual) Friends and Influencing People: Computational Systems that Establish Rapport," as part of Douglass College's L'Hommedieu Lecturer Series on Wednesday, March 11, beginning at 7pm in the Douglass College Center.

This sounds fascinating to me, so I thought I'd share the information with many of our blog readers, especially those interested in human-computer interaction.
