The Muses of Poetry is an interactive installation that combines dynamically generated character animation, semantic analysis, natural voice interaction and affect in poetry. Motivated by the subjectivity and imaginative character of this form of art, we intend to enhance and accentuate a poetry recital by providing a set of virtual characters the possibility to "understand" and manifest the emotional content of the poems through facial expressions and affective speech. It is our aim with this installation to bring people closer to poetry, while creating a playful, interactive and surprising experience for the user.
