Open Framework Facilitating Automatic Generation of CG Animation from Web Site

We have been studying and developing the system which enables to generate Computer Graphics Animation (CGA) automatically by processing HTML data of Web site. In this paper, we propose an open framework to facilitate this. The framework is functioning all at a server side, obtaining the HTML, converting it to a script describing the CGA story and updating the script. And at a client side, a user accesses the script on the server to visualize it by using real-time CG character with synthesized voice, camera work, superimposing, sound file playback etc. We have constructed the framework on the server and deployed the substantial engines to convert Web sites to CGAs. This paper describes the detail of the framework and also shows some example projects providing automatically generated News show, Talk show and personal Blog visualization.
