Using ADAPT technologies to push the boundaries of human speech recognition to increase the accuracy of robotic interpretation.
Digital interactions and engagements are a ubiquitous daily reality but we show how it is possible to create digital actors that are compelling to a human audience.
Through the creation of this entertaining demo for the public to use and interact with, this theatrical installation explores how our cultural horizons might be expanded to include theatre driven by robot actors.
