VLNET: A Networked Multimedia 3D Environment with Virtual Humans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual environments define a new interface for networked multimedia applications. The sense of "presence" in the virtual environment is an important requirement for collaborative activities involving multiple remote users working with social interactions. Using virtual actors within the shared environment is a supporting tool for presence. In this paper, we present a shared virtual life network with virtual humans that provides a natural interface for collaborative working.

متن کاملHybrid Participant Embodiments in Networked Collaborative Virtual Environments
In this paper we are presenting a novel approach to participant embodiment in networked collaborative virtual environments. Our embodiment approach integrates live video into 3D objects for a hybrid participant representation. We implemented our ideas in a Networked Collaborative Virtual Environment system, VLNET and investigated network and rendering issues in comparison with virtual human par...
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 کاملHybrid Approaches to Interactions between Real and Virtual Humans in Mixed Environments
In this paper we analyse use of real-time video in Virtual Environments in interaction between real and virtual humans. We implemented our ideas in a Networked Collaborative Virtual Environment system, VLNET and in an Augmented Reality set-up. This paper presents three distinct case studies. The first one is a transatlantic demonstration, where distant users interact with virtual humans through...
