Simulation Level of Detail for Virtual Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphical level of detail (LOD) is a set of techniques for coping with the issue of limited computational resources by reducing the graphical detail of the scene far from the observer. Simulation LOD reduces quality of the simulation at the places unseen. Contrary to graphical LOD, simulation LOD has been almost unstudied. As a part of our on-going effort on a large virtualstorytelling game populated by tens of complex virtual humans, we have developed and implemented a set of simulation LOD algorithms for simplifying virtual space and behaviour of virtual humans. The main feature of our technique is that it allows for several degrees of detail, i.e. for gradual varying of simulation quality. In this paper, we summarise the main lessons learned, introduce the prototype implementation called IVE and discuss the possibility of scaling our technique to other applications featuring virtual humans.

Level-of-Detail in Behaviour of Virtual Humans
An application featuring virtual humans is a program that simulates an artificial world inhabited by virtual people. Recently, only either small artificial worlds inhabited by a few complex virtual humans, or larger worlds with tens of humans, but performing only walking and crowding, are simulated. This is not surprising: a large world inhabited by complex virtual humans requires unreasonable ...
متن کاملAffordances and level-of-detail AI for virtual humans
Anyone who aims at developing a virtual reality application featuring a large artificial world inhabited by intelligent virtual humans will face two problems—the problem with simulation speed, and the problem with adding new components to the simulation both during the development and after the release. We have developed a framework that copes with these issues. The solution is based on augment...
متن کاملCrowd Simulation: Implementation on Geometry, Animation and Behavior
Crowd simulations are becoming more popular in entertainment industry and interactive applications. However, the task of rendering and animating crowds of virtual humans in real-time is challenging. In this paper, we describe recent progress on crowd simulation research on three different levels, namely, geometry, animation and behavior. These three levels deal with implementation issues from l...
متن کاملRuminations on the Implications of Multi-Resolution Modeling on DIS/HLA
With the advent of standardization efforts such as the High Level Architecture (HLA) and Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS), inter-operability of military simulation models has emerged as the chief design requirement. By enforcing strict conformance to the DIS and/or HLA, the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) has so far been able to “mix-and-match” different simulation models ...
متن کاملMen Behaving Appropriately: Integrating the Role Passing Technique into the ALOHA System
The Adaptive Level of Detail for Human Animation (ALOHA) system is a platform for animating virtual humans within a virtual environment using levels-of-detail for geometry, motion and conversational behaviour. Until now the behaviour of these humans has been determined using pre-defined scripts. This paper describes the integration of the intelligent agent based role-passing technique into the ...
