  • Jul 11 2012 - Released a minor update to the toolkit, fixing some usability and stability issues.
  • May 31 2012 - Released an exciting new version of the toolkit offering the MultiSense framework, the Rapport research platform and the SBMonitor tool. MultiSense is a perception framework that enables multiple sensing and understanding modules to inter-operate simultaneously, broadcasting data through the Perception Markup Language. MultiSense currently contains GAVAM, CLM FaceTracker andand FAAST which you can use with webcam or Kinect. The Rapport agent is a “virtual human listener” providing nonverbal feedback based on human nonverbal and verbal input. It has been used in a variety of international studies related to establishing rapport between real and virtual humans. Finally, the SBMonitor is a stand-alone tool for easy debugging of SmartBody applications, including testing available (facial) animations, gazes and more complex BML commands.
  • Mar 2 2012 - Released a minor update of the toolkit updating the Unity version to 3.5 as well as providing incremental changes to the Unity/SmartBody debug tools in the Unity Editor (VH menu in Unity).
  • Dec 22 2011 - Happy holidays!  Released a new version of  the toolkit which includes the ability to interrupt Brad, improved support for higher resolutions, and a fix for text-to-speech not working properly.
  • Aug 10 2011 - Released a new version of the toolkit, which offers support for the free version of Unity 3D; users may now create scenes for Brad.  Download Unity here: http://www.unity3d.com.  For instructions on how to use the Unity 3D Editor with the toolkit, see the vhtoolkitUnity section. In addition, the user interaction has been improved; Unity now launches in full-screen automatically and users get visual feedback when talking to Brad. To directly talk to Brad, first make sure you have a microphone plugged in, wait for Brad to finish his introduction, and close the tips window. Now click and hold the left mouse button while asking Brad a question; release the mouse button when you are done talking. The recognized result will be displayed above Brad in white font (toggle on/off with the O key), and Brad will answer your question. It is advised to update Java and ActiveMQ, which are provided with the 3rd party installer versions.
