Abstract for Natural Language Generation Journeys to Interactive 3D Worlds
Ninth International Workshop on Natural Language Generation, 1999

      Interactive 3D worlds offer an intriguing testbed for the natural language generation community. To complement interactive 3D worlds' rich visualizations, they require significant linguistic flexibility and communicative power. We explore the major functionalities and architectural implications of natural language generation for three key classes of interactive 3D worlds: self-explaining 3D environments, habitable 3D learning environments, and interactive 3D narrative worlds. These are illustrated with empirical investigations underway in our laboratory with several such systems.
