with the increase of multimedia contents in the WWW multimodal presentation using interactive life-like agents is attractive and becoming important. However, it is not easy for many people to write such multimodal presentations, due to the complexity of describing various behaviors of character agent and their interaction of particular character system with individual ( often low-level ) description language. In order to overcome this complexity and to allow more people to write attractive multimodal presentation easily, MPML (Multimodal Presentation Markup Language) Version 1.0 has been developed to provide a medium-level description language commonly applicable to many character systems. Also, a new emotion expression function is attached to MPML recently. with this function, we are able to express emotion-rich behavior of the character agent in MPML Version 2.0e. In this paper, We make a simple introduction of MPML Version 1.0, and present the new functions in Version 2.Oe. Some multimodal presentation contents are produced in the new version of MPML to show the effectiveness of the new emotion function.
