Hierarchical Agent Interface for Animation
Asynchronous, Hierarchical Agents (AHAs) provide a vertically structured multilevel abstraction hierarchy. In this paper, we argue that this multilevel hierarchy is a convenient way to create a human-agent interface at multiple levels of abstraction. In this way, the agent has several layers of speci cation (input) and visualization (output) which facilitates users with problem solving, because such an interface parallels the hierarchical and iterative nature of human creative thought processes. The AHA interface presents an intuitive, intimate interface which supports interactions on a scale from direct manipulation to delegation, depending on the user's choice.Another feature of this interface is its two modes of interaction: direct device interaction (mouse clicking) and interpretive, command line or scripting mode. This way, agents can be \forced" to perform certain activities via
mouse clicks (direct control), or they can be programmed via scripts on the way. We present examples of the use of the AHA interface from the domain of animating humanlike agents in a virtual world.
