This study presents a novel framework exploiting augmented reality to visualize a synthetic 3D virtual guide inside an exhibit or a public gallery to assist visitors wearing a Head Mounted Display during their visit and providing them with both visual and informative enhancements not available in a standard tour. The human-avatar interaction is approached through a model based on timed automata to address the conversational issues and to simplify framework's design and checking. The paper includes an application of the proposed methodology to the “avatar assisted tour” of a roman villa, located within the archaeological site of Pompei, as a case study. © 2008 by Knowledge Systems Institute Graduate School.

Abstract
This study presents a novel framework exploiting augmented reality to visualize a synthetic 3D virtual guide inside an exhibit or a public gallery to assist visitors wearing a Head Mounted Display during their visit and providing them with both visual and informative enhancements not available in a standard tour. The human-avatar interaction is approached through a model based on timed automata to address the conversational issues and to simplify framework's design and checking. The paper includes an application of the proposed methodology to the “avatar assisted tour” of a roman villa, located within the archaeological site of Pompei, as a case study. © 2008 by Knowledge Systems Institute Graduate School.
