We've had a great endorsement of the book from Prof. Kevin Warwick who has done a lot of work around AI and cybernetics (he was for a time known as the human cyborg as he had chips implanted to hook his nervous system up to computer and robotics systems!):
“This book presents an overview of the present state of play with virtual humans. Appearance, attributes, communication and intelligence are all investigated, and the architectures involved are covered in detail. If you have little knowledge of what a virtual human is, but want to find out, then this is the book for you. For researchers in the virtual human field this is a definite must.”
It arrived in time to make it onto the book cover! Many thanks to Prof. Warwick for his kind words.
