The SILVIA Pose Sequencer Component

This component controls the interpolation from pose to pose, gesture to gesture. It has two main subsystems to control the performance parameters of the Avatar. Procedural Idling and Pose To Pose Sequencing. Both offer advantages depending on context in the Avatar performance, can be controlled by PAGER Tags embedded within speech responses as with SSML tags, require no prerecorded animations and avoids repetitive motions.
