MyBlog3D

We interviewed the different partners to understand the specific properties of the Myblog 3d technology and how to turn its technical features into potential services.    

Observations of practices in 3d environments and virtual worlds also helped us define an application that was relevant.

The innovations brought by Myblog3d were the transcription in real time of one’s gestures and emotions on a 3d avatar and its interaction with smart ECAs. To us, Myblog 3D offered interesting features for the development of training applications: it enabled to face one-self’s own behaviors and consider their impact on ultra sensitive ECAs.

We imagined different scenarios proposing the user to interact with an ECA through  negotiation, relaxation, seduction, integration etc… Through these scenarios, the ECA had different statuses: it could be a third person, a referee, a mediator, a partner, a guide…

Namely, we used the Myblog 3d platform as a recruiting training tool. We met some people from the HR dpt. in order to specify the scenario and build a database about the words, the codes used during these recruiting interviews.

Once the functionalities and the end-users requirements defined, we worked on the techno-semiotic interface of the application: how to represent and organize these functionalities on screen? How to propose a seamless design of the interface, which enhances manipulation and appropriation of the application?

The 3d virtual space became an interview room, the user, an avatar and the recruiter, an ECA. We focused on questions about the framing stage, the temporality of actions, the multimodality of the media to propose a powerful application.
