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
Note: This feature is available for Digital People running on Human OS 2.3+ speaking English and Japanese, and for Human OS 2.4+ speaking Korean.
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.
Note that the above video is not representative of the current Position Digital Person on your UI.
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.
Behavior Styles for English
These styles are available only when English is chosen as the Text-to-Speech (TTS) language.
The ‘Friendly’ style is selected by default, and this is a direct upgrade of the existing behavior in Human OS 2.2; so this is the one to use if you are happy with your existing behavior. But don’t forget to experiment with the toggles for Reacting to User Speech and Facial Expressions. To experiment or select a different style, just click on it, deploy and launch your digital person, and you’ll see the new behavior style with your existing corpus.
Note: The styles ‘Elegant’, ‘Outgoing’ and ‘Dramatic’ are not included as they are bespoke for Japanese and Korean languages, and are similar to ‘Sweet’ and ‘Free-spirited’.
