We’ve entered our next page in our synonym project:
virtual human
Actually, this is the best synonym the industry and academics should agree on. This is actually what we’re trying to create. We’re trying to create an entity that is as natural as possible. Natural look. Natural language. Natural emotions. As natural is defined by humans as ‘being as human as possible’.
Here are some highlights from the page:

Virtual reality environment with mixed components. So a physical square room with views projected on the walls and a real door. When you open this real door in this VR environment,you will find a soldier behind the door shooting you, and your experience continues.
