In this paper, we illustrate the role that situated awareness plays in modeling human interactions with Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs). Here we describe Diana, a multimodal IVA who exists within an embodied Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI) environment. Diana is a multimodal dialogue agent enabling communication through language, gesture, action, facial expressions, and gaze tracking, in the context of task-oriented interactions.
