Abstract

Developing convincing and realistic virtual human behavior is essential for enhancing user experiences in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) settings. This paper introduces a novel task focused on generating long-term behaviors for virtual agents, guided by specific personality traits and contextual elements within 3D environments. We present a comprehensive framework capable of autonomously producing daily activities autoregressively. By modeling the intricate connections between personality characteristics and observable activities, we establish a hierarchical structure of Needs, Task, and Activity levels. Integrating a Behavior Planner and a World State module allows for the dynamic sampling of behaviors using large language models (LLMs), ensuring that generated activities remain relevant and responsive to environmental changes. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness and adaptability of our approach across diverse scenarios. This research makes a significant contribution to the field by establishing a new paradigm for personalized and context-aware interactions with virtual humans, ultimately enhancing user engagement in immersive applications.
