BunBunMovie: Scenario Visualizing System Based on 3-D Character

There are many text-based contents, such as novels and script. Those contents have only scenario, and lack visual information. The purpose of this research is to provide visualizing environment that can visualize text-based contents easily. Moreover, such environment can also provide the opportunity to get pleasure out of scenario. It is necessary for visualizing scenario to make various motions of characters and to depict various situations. Therefore we propose motion assortment function to make various motions of characters. The function uses a Japanese dictionary and a thesaurus search. We also propose associated image display function that uses an image search to depict various situations. From the experiments about the motion assortment function, we show that the proposal method can assort some motions. From the experiments of subjective assessment, we found that some subjects inclined to use such easy visualizing environment.
