Shape of the story: story visualization techniques

There is now a growing awareness of the possibilities for application of natural language in the computing domain by incorporating knowledge of human-to-human interaction. We present an approach that aims to bridge the gap between scripting/storyboarding by a nontechnical creative writer and rendering characters and scenes by a graphics specialist. Natural language processing (NLP) and 3D graphic presentation is used to manipulate 3D scenes in real time. The proposed technique offers a flexible and easy way to generate an interactive 3DVE as compared with traditional 3D packages.
