The following sections describe the mechanism for customizing the behavior of your Digital Person using various options from Digital DNA studio, and how to use them on different versions of Human OS and languages.

Some of the behavior options in Digital DNA studio are dependent on the real-time gesturing feature and also the languages we support. The below table briefly describes the features that work only on certain Human OS versions, languages, and when the real-time gesturing option is turned on.
