Abstract
In virtual reality interfaces, realistic animation of virtual agents e nhances human-computer interaction by supporting direct engagement in the virtual environment. Visual programming by example allows designer s to define animation rules by ''training'' agents, thereby building b ehavioral rules into specification models that run automatically durin g the execution of the virtual environment. This allows for direct and effective replication of real-life phenomena and agent reactions to e nvironmental stimuli.
