Synthetic animated realities

چکیده
This opportunity for complex spatiotemporal simulation offered by digital technologies allows a subversion of the computer’s traditional role as an image production device, through its use in my own work to create preliminary sketches as a basis for sequential pieces finished in traditional analogue forms. I am currently exploring these connections via the presentation of a variety of spatial and temporal sequential imagery in a series of exhibitions, and supporting contextual research.

The effect of dynamics on identifying basic emotions from synthetic and natural faces
The identification of basic emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness and surprise) has been studied widely from pictures of facial expressions. Until recently, the role of dynamic information in identifying facial emotions has received little attention. There is evidence that dynamics improves the identification of basic emotions from synthetic (computer-animated) facial expressions [...
متن کاملVisual Contribution to Speech Perception: Measuring the Intelligibility of Animated Talking Heads
Animated agents are becoming increasingly frequent in research and applications in speech science. An important challenge is to evaluate the effectiveness of the agent in terms of the intelligibility of its visible speech. In three experiments, we extend and test the Sumby and Pollack (1954) metric to allow the comparison of an agent relative to a standard or reference, and also propose a new m...
متن کاملVisual contribution to speech perception: measuring the intelligibility of talking heads
Animated agents are becoming increasingly frequent in research and applications in speech science. An important challenge is to evaluate the effectiveness of the agent in terms of the intelligibility of its visible speech. Sumby and Pollack (1954) proposed a metric to describe the benefit provided by the face relative to the auditory speech presented alone. We extend this metric to describe the...
متن کاملFast Synthetic Vision, Memory, and Learning Models for Virtual Humans
This paper presents a simple and efficient method of modeling synthetic vision, memory, and learning for autonomous animated characters in real-time virtual environments. The model is efficient in terms of both storage requirements and update times, and can be flexibly combined with a variety of higher-level reasoning modules or complex memory rules. The design is inspired by research in motion...
متن کاملOlga - a conversational agent with gestures
The Olga project has developed an animated agent interface for information services. The interface combines a graphical interface, spoken dialogue and an animated 3D ‘human-like’ character for multimodal input and output. The interaction is intelligently managed using techniques derived from spoken dialogue but extended for the graphical modality. The Olga agent is innovative in combining a spo...
