What is a ‘behavior style’?

The behavior styles in Digital DNA Studio offer you the creative choice to effortlessly match the behavior of your digital person to the persona you’ve created and your use case. The behavior styles are made of many factors, and those factors result in an overall ‘feel’ for the character and empathy of the digital person. This includes:

• Expressive emotional range when speaking 

• Responsiveness to a human’s facial expressions and speech

• Style of arm gesturing; type and frequency of gestures and the energy they are performed with

• Their base personality:

  • Base level mood

  • Posture

  • Characteristics such as eye contact and mirroring behavior

The video below demonstrates all the behavior styles available on Digital DNA Studio. Notice how the Digital Person’s facial expressions, gestural behavior, emotional behavior, and mood change with each style.

Accessing Behavior Styles

A set of behavior styles are available in Digital DNA, as part of the process of designing a Digital Person. The behavior style can be selected to enhance the persona you are building through your choices around the face, clothing, voice, and written dialogue. Choosing the behavior style should be an effortless, fun, and creative aspect of designing a digital person. 

Behavior styles appear in Digital DNA Studio underneath the HOW SHOULD YOUR DIGITAL PERSON BEHAVE section, when Real-Time Gesturing is enabled.
