Abstract
This paper introduces the DeEvA platform for the generation
of virtual characters. The platform generates virtual characters
using personality traits as input. The generation process is conceived
to generate characters whose physical appearance responds to people’s
expectations. Characters generated using the platform can be used as
believable Embodied Conversational Agents in interactive applications.
The platform uses a combination of crowdsourcing techniques: Reverse
Correlation and Interactive Genetic Algorithms. This paper describes
the method as well as three working examples.
