An Animation Framework for Continuous Interaction with Reactive Virtual Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a complete framework for animation of Reactive Virtual Humans that offers a mixed animation paradigm: control of different body parts switches between keyframe animation, procedural animation and physical simulation, depending on the requirements of the moment. This framework implements novel techniques to support real-time continuous interaction. It is demonstrated on our interactive Virtual Conductor.

Realizer for continuous , multimodal interaction with a Virtual Human
Elckerlyc” is a BML Realizer for generating multimodal verbal and nonverbal behavior for Virtual Humans (VHs). The main characteristics of Elckerlyc are that (1) it is designed specifically for continuous interaction with tight temporal coordination between the behavior of a VH and its interaction partner; (2) it provides a mix between the precise temporal and spatial control offered by procedu...
متن کاملData Exchange in Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments
One of the ultimate goals of SNHC is to provide a framework supporting the Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments (NCVE) for a wide range of applications. We briefly present an existing NCVE system called Virtual Life Network (VLNET). VLNET is a NCVE system incorporating realistic representation and animation of virtual humans for higher realism of simulation and more natural interaction ...
متن کاملReal Time Animation of Virtual Humans: A Trade-off Between Naturalness and Control
Virtual humans are employed in many interactive applications using 3D virtual environments, including (serious) games. The motion of such virtual humans should look realistic (or ‘natural’) and allow interaction with the surroundings and other (virtual) humans. Current animation techniques differ in the trade-off they offer between motion naturalness and the control that can be exerted over the...
متن کاملInteraction between Real and Virtual Humans in Augmented Reality
Interaction between real and virtual humans covers a wide range of topics from creation and animation of virtual actors to computer vision techniques for data acquisition from real world. In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of an augmented reality system which allows investigation of different real virtual interaction aspects. As an example we present an application to create...
متن کاملMKM: A Global Framework for Animating Humans in Virtual Reality Applications
Virtual humans are more and more used in VR applications but their animation is still a challenge, especially if complex tasks must be carried-out in interaction with the user. In many applications with virtual humans, credible virtual characters play a major role in presence. Motion editing techniques assume that the natural laws are intrinsically encoded in prerecorded trajectories and that m...
