The Trial The Trail is an interactive drama designed for an immersive virtual reality system by Josephine Anstey. This is a collaborative art/computer science research project with a group lead by Anstey and the SNePs AI group at University at Buffalo. My tasks as a graduate/research assistant in this group include building the scenes of the drama with Ygdrasil (the VR authoring framework written by Dave Pape built on SGI Performer and CAVElib ), and contribute to the programming of the agents (i.e. navigation, interaction between the embodiment of the agent and its mind... etc.).
