Recently, many researchers have studied on animated pedagogical agents to improve students' learning experience in educational systems. In this paper, we describe how personalized pedagogical agents can be applied into AR educational applications. We have developed the augmented gardening system which provides users with opportunity to explore physiological and environmental considerations that govern flowering via their mobile devices. The users can interact with a bluebird, as an animated pedagogical agent, which is superimposed over a physical marker. The bluebird assists them in achieving the goals with personalized guidance suitable for their background and experience on the gardening.
This paper introduces a new type of anthropomorphic agent that lives in a 3D space where the real and virtual worlds are seamlessly merged. In this mixed reality (MR) space, people wearing a see-through head-mounted display can interact with both physical and virtual objects in real time. In this type of MR space, an embodied conversational agent, named "Welbo," is implemented to study how agent technology contributes. This agent has several unique features, compared with the conventional desktop agent.
