Abstract
In recent years, the evolution of intelligent NPC (Non-player Characters) generated by artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous sectors, from entertainment to education and virtual assistance. Intelligent NPC, delineated as virtual entities within video games and interactive simulations, exhibit a notable proficiency in artificial intelligence, autonomy, interaction, and decision-making. These entities, portrayed as realistic digital representations, assume a pivotal role in enhancing the user experience by dynamically adapting to the choices made by players. In the educational sector, NPC can improve learning and interaction between students, for example they can be used as virtual tutors to assist students and answer questions to provide explanations for complex concepts. Therefore, this work aims to develop an intelligent NPC to be integrated within the Inclusive Virtual Museum to promote knowledge of cultural heritage in the students.
