High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A virtual newscaster, or animated anchor, is a computer generated character created for the purpose of reading forth news over the Internet. While Ananova is often credited to be the first virtual newscaster on the Internet, it went off-line in 2004. Delta Seven created by Bruce C. Pippin uses Microsoft Agent technology to deliver real time changes in news, weather, sports and stock market quotes in less than seven minutes. News At Seven is in development at Northwestern University in Illinois by a group of five project members, funded by the National Science Foundation and is currently a video based virtual newscaster. Advantages of having such a character on a website is that is has a more familiar effect on viewers. Also, as newscasters are typically coupled with an audio reading of any article they are featured on, visually-impaired or illiterate persons can benefit from this method of information delivery.
