Abstract [en]
There is a wide variety of information on the Internet, and it is vital to organize and disseminate the information that people want to know based on this information. Expressing the data in a way that people can easily understand is an important task for the media. We have developed a system that automatically converts WordPress blog entries into CG animations. By incorporating the required functionality into a WordPress theme, users can choose this theme and build a blog where readers can watch CG animations instead of reading blog entries. CG animation is created by TVML (TV Program Making Language) technology that enables to create a TV program-like animation with CG characters with synthesized voices, image data display, sound playback, and superimposing, etc. In addition to contributing to theWordPress community, which is expected to be an auxiliary function of blog services in particular. It may also function as a production tool for creating various types of CG animation, not just blog support. In this research, we have developed a functioning software application working on a PC and an Android hand-held device to visualize the blog entries. the WordPress is specifically used for our purpose as the blog system in this research. We successfully showed this in several exhibitions and also conducted a web survey to evaluate the system. This paper describes the proposed system in detail and the evaluation test.
