چکیده
GENIUS Bodybuilder is a tool for the evolutionary design of arbitrary closed surfaces that integrates seamlessly into the 3D-modelling process. In contrast to prevailing evolutionary tools it is not built on a proprietary object representation, but makes use of a deformative approach that can be applied to commonly used surface representations such as polygon meshes or NURBS faces. The current implementation – GENIUS Sculptor – is used to create individual avatars out of prototypes by shape blending and free form deformation. The next step – Genius Creator – will be concerned with the creation of arbitrary forms using embryology, L-Systems and Cellular Automata.

GENIUS: a new tool for gene networks visualization
GENIUS is a graphical software tool for visualizing genetic networks composed by a high number of genes. It accepts as input a matrix summarizing gene relationships inferred by means of reverse engineering methods. GENIUS offers two visualization modalities (the Agorà style and the TouchGraph style), that can be exploited in a complementary way. It is thus possible to obtain a clear and easily ...

With the rising popularity of Augmented and Virtual Reality, there is a need for representing humans as virtual avatars in various application domains ranging from remote telepresence, games to medical applications. Besides explicitly modelling 3D avatars, sensing approaches that create person-specific avatars are becoming popular. However, affordable solutions typically suffer from a low visua...
متن کاملVisual Analyses of the Creation of Avatars
Video games are becoming more popular; there has been a particular rise in interest and use of massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs). These games utilize avatar creation; avatars can be seen as the technological instantiation of the real person in the virtual world. Little research has been conducted on avatar creation. Although it is has been anecdotally postulated that you...
متن کاملFrequency of Anabolic Steroids Abuse in Bodybuilder Athletes in Kerman City
Abstract Background: Athletes, especially bodybuilders, abuse anabolic steroid drugs to improve their strength and enhance their muscle growth and appearance. This study was conducted to determine the type and frequency of anabolic steroids abuse in bodybuilder athletes in Kerman City. Methods: A confidential questionnaire which included demographic data (age, education), name of ab...
متن کاملHalting HIV/AIDS with avatars and havatars: a virtual world approach to modelling epidemics
BACKGROUND A major deficit of all approaches to epidemic modelling to date has been the need to approximate or guess at human behaviour in disease-transmission-related contexts. Avatars are generally human-like figures in virtual computer worlds controlled by human individuals. METHODS We introduce the concept of a "havatar", which is a (human, avatar) pairing. Evidence is mounting that this ...
