  • Jan 11 2013 - We released a minor version of the Toolkit today. Java is now included in the distribution and no longer a 3rd party dependency. Unity has been updated to version 4 and Ogre to 1.8.1. In addition, character creation with SmartBody has been simplified and asset loading has been streamlined. See the Release Notes for details.
  • Oct 31 2012 - We are happy to announce that with the latest release of the Toolkit you can now interact with multiple characters: Brad and Rachel.  Both have been built from the ground up, with updated character models, animations, environment and voices.  In addition, we implemented a drag and drop feature for new SmartBody characters and are providing several 3rd party (as of yet non-talking) Mixamo characters.  This release also contains a variety of miscellaneous improvements, including new Festival text-to-speech voices, NVBG configuration improvements and more ways to use MultiSense.  For a full list of changes, see the Release Notes.
  • Jul 11 2012  - We have released a minor update to the Toolkit, fixing some usability and stability issues.  See  Release Notes  for details.
  • May 31 2012 - An exciting new version of the toolkit is now available, 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 and 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 - A minor release of the toolkit is now available, 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!  The latest release of the toolkit includes the ability to interrupt Brad, improved support for higher resolutions, and a fix for text-to-speech not working properly.  See Release Notes for details.
