Helmut Prendinger has published extensively (more than 200 refereed papers in international journals and conferences, and book chapters) in the fields of 3D online virtual worlds, multi-modal content creation tools, affective human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. He co-edited (with Mitsuru Ishizuka from the University of Tokyo) a book on Life-Like Characters (tools, affective functions, applications), which was published in the prestigious Springer Cognitive Technologies series in 2004. In 2008, he organized (with James Lester and Mitsuru Ishizuka) the 8th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA'08) in Tokyo. He won the Best Paper Award at the Pacific-Rim International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in 2000, and in 2004, he received the Future Program Special Contributor Award for his research in the Multi-modal Anthropomorphic Interface project of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. His work on visual attentive presentation agents was awarded the best application of lifelike agents in the GALA competition held at the International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents in 2006. He was also a Finalist for the COLING 2010 Best Paper Award. ...more
