International Design Challenge
Virtual Humans are highly realistic and interactive digital representations of people. They have the potential to interact and communicate with their environment in a human-like manner. With the rapid rise of this technology and its potential applications in domains such as education, healthcare and media, it is important that we as a society better understand its possibilities, limits and implications. The Dutch Design Charrette project focusses on creating prototypes for current or future integrations of virtual humans in society.
