Summary: Here Come the Virtual Professors!
Review: Virtual humans is an excellent description of a technology which is now ready to assist in providing 24/7 assistance in several areas, namely, tutoring, teaching, answering questions, even providing customer support. The Virtual Humans book provides all of the information one needs to understand the impact of virtual entities on the way in which information is provided. As a professor who teaches graduate courses in emerging technologies, I have found Virtual Humans to be an outstanding reference book for my intelligent agents course, clearly outlining all of the key concepts involved. Everything from the conceptual concepts behind virtual personalities to the details of actually building one is clearly presented in this book. Plantec's style of writing is very readable, even to novices and those just curious. However, he gives tremendous detail for those who wish more depth. Additionally, the vast volume of software files, demonstrations, videos, and development software contained on the accompanying CD make this book a "must buy" for anyone interested in understanding the impact of this dramatic technology.

Summary: NLP merging era of AI for applications
Review: What a Book! Being a designer of AI software, I often think I have found the answers to the mind. This book reminded me of how far I have to go before I realize the true human conscience of Art Official science. Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing seem to be a merging world, one morphing to the other. This book describes in great detail how to vary the difference of the merging arts. Great Job Peter! I can't wait for your next book. My mind is in chaos wondering what is next...

Summary: Plantec is Back-Stabbing the People that helped his Research
Review: Why does peter plantec, spend so much time writing bad reviews about the book that was written before his?

The book author of 'build your own army of web-bots', actually helped peter plantec with his virtual human research; spending hours for about a year with long distance phone calls and emails answering plantec's endless questions about virtual humans, then plantec spends hours for a few years now, attacking the very person that helped him with his research for his own book. Unbeleivably Nasty Sick Behavior from Plantec !

amazon has allready removed peter plantec's older nasty irrelevant reviews, where he actually made nasty comments about the older web-bot book author's racial and ethnic background.

See latest plantec's nasty reviews about the book 'build your own army of web-bots within 24 hours' which was written and published a few years before plantec's; plantec also uses the username 'quinbould knowledgebuff' and 'thenar'.

I can't beleive the book author of 'build your own army of web-bots within 24 hours' was actually promoting plantec's virtual human book, while he was stabbing her in the back, using her to write his own book, and smiling in her face.
