Control a 3D avatar with language instead of buttons
A developer has created a system that allows users to control a 3D avatar using natural language commands instead of traditional buttons or scripts. This new approach, built on a framework called "programasweights," translates English descriptions into executable action programs that run locally in a web browser. The developer envisions this technology being used in video games to create more dynamic and improvisational non-player characters. AI
