The following lists the Long and Short tags that you can use in customising your Digital Person:
- Sentence-based Tags
These expressions are designed to generate an overall emotional feeling across the entire length of a sentence. Because they last for a relatively long time, they are subtle, and are composed of a blend of many different facial gestures. - Word-based Tags
These expressions are more pronounced and should be treated like punctuation for emotional effect. Short expressions typically extend across the length of a single word or very short phrase.
Base Behaviour
Every Digital Person is built with base behaviour. They can see you, hear you, react to your expressions, move their heads naturally as they speak, and even have an internal emotional state.
Human OS 2.0, 2.1 and up
On these platforms you will have access to all Behavior Tags as listed for Human-OS-1.7, with the below additions:
Sentence-Based Tags (a.k.a. Long) | Word-Based Tags (a.k.a. Short) |
Neutral Long: This removes Real Time Gesturing behaviour from the word or short phrase it’s applied on, meaning there will be no gesturing. Please note, the base behaviour will still apply. | Neutral Short: This removes Real Time Gesturing behaviour from the word or short phrase it’s applied on, meaning there will be no gesturing. Please note, the base behaviour will still apply. |
Note: For Human OS 2.1 and up, our content awareness feature means that the Digital Person will look at the content on screen autonomously. Therefore, we do not recommend using the Glance tags as they will be overridden.
Human OS 1.7+ all languages | |
Sentence-Based Tags (a.k.a. Long) | Word-Based Tags (a.k.a. Short) Please note, word-based tags have limitations in some languages. |
Happy Expression | Smiling Gesture: smile, or smile and nod |
Very Happy Expression | Emphasis Gesture: raised brows, nods, tilts and blinks in various combinations NOTE: Emphasis can be used for both slightly positively and slightly negatively connoted phrases. |
Questioning Expression | Thinking Gesture: narrowed eyes, brows up, head turns and tilts in various combinations |
Concerned Expression | Concerned Gesture: differing concerned looks and accompanying head tilts in various combinations Glance to right Glance to bottom right |
Note: The word-based tags enable a selection of gestures to be applied alone, or in combinations of two. They are selected randomly from the defined list by the system so that the Digital Person will behave appropriately, but not in exactly the same way if the same piece of dialogue is repeated.
