N2 - In this paper, we put forward a novel idea to create virtual alter egos by using video images of real-world humans; these alter egos can act autonomously and interactively in a virtual world. The design inspiration of this virtual world is Osaka City in the Meiji era, with many motive and fantasy factors. The application that is used to establish such alter egos in the virtual world is based on "Video Agents"; a system that can establish interactive autonomous characters by using video images of real-world creatures. If you will, you can create your own alter ego, which will enter the virtual world and behave autonomously; just like another you living in another world. The created "Osaka Developing Story" was demonstrated at a special event in Osaka, and a lot of participants enjoyed their own incredible experiences. This paper describes its implementation details and results.
