In combination with the rapid technical improvements of computers, building large virtual scenes has become a popular field in computer graphics for education, films or games. Often, virtual humans populate scenes such as real reconstructed city, disappear ...
This paper summarizes recent experiences and case studies to model behaviors of virtual humans in three typical situations: interaction with complex objects, interaction with the user in immersive environments, and social behaviors in crowds ...
Presents a new architecture for simulating virtual humans in complex urban environments. The approach is based on the integration of six modules. Four key modules are used in order to manage environmental data, simulate human crowds, control interactions b ...
We present an augmented reality system that relies on purely passive techniques to solve the real-time registration problem. It can run on a portable PC and does not require engineering of the environment, for example by adding markers. To achieve this res ...
In the past decade, networked virtual environments (NVEs) have been an increasingly active area of research, with the first commercial systems emerging recently. Graphical and behavioral representation of users within such systems is a particularly importa ...
Real-time 3D graphics are being extensively used to build interactive virtual environments for a number of different applications. In many situations, virtual objects are required to exhibit complex behaviors, and the use of a versatile behavioral programm ...
We present a networked virtual environment (NVE) system and an attraction building system based on Windows NT that enables users to introduce their own scenario-based applications into a shared virtual environment. Our goal was to develop and integrate sev ...
Our research focuses on the behavioral animation of virtual humans who are capable of taking actions by themselves. We deal more specifically with reinforcement learning methodologies, which integrate in an original way the RL agent and the autonomous virt ...
Current virtual reality technologies provide many ways to interact with virtual humans. Most of those techniques, however, are limited to synthetic elements and require cumbersome sensors. We have combined a real-time simulation and rendering platform with ...
Explains methods to provide autonomous virtual humans with the skills necessary to perform stand-alone roles in films, games and interactive television. We present current research developments in the virtual life of autonomous synthetic actors. After a br ...
