Virtual Human Architecture
The Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) Virtual Human Toolkit is based on the ICT Virtual Human Architecture. This architecture defines at an abstract level what modules are needed to realize a virtual human, and how these modules interact. The basic functionality of each module as well as its interface is well-defined, but its actual implementation falls outside the scope of the architecture. The architecture dictates the implementation of a distributed system where communication is mostly realized using message passing. This allows for multiple implementations of a certain module and simple substitution of one implementation for another during runtime. It also allows for distributed systems, where different modules run on separate computers.

Virtual Human Toolkit Implementation
The Virtual Human Toolkit is a set of components (modules, tools and libraries) that implements one possible version of the Virtual Human Architecture. It consists of the following modules:
