This paper introduces four sociological concepts which we argue are important for the creation of autonomous social agents capable of behaving and interacting realistically with each other as virtual humans. A list of functional requirements based on these ...
Nonverbal communication is an important aspect of real-life face-to-face interaction and one of the most efficient ways to convey emotions, therefore users should be provided the means to replicate it in the virtual world. Because articulated embodiments a ...
How can the behaviour of humans who interact with other humans be simulated in virtual environments? This thesis investigates the issue by proposing a number of dedicated models, computer languages, software architectures, and specifications of computation ...
The MPEG-4 standard specifies a set of low-level animation parameters for body animation, but does not provide any high-level functionality for the control of avatars or embodied agents. In this paper we discuss the required features for a script format al ...
The creation or virtual humans capable of behaving and interacting realistically with each other requires the development of autonomous believable social agents. Standard goal-oriented approaches are not well suited to it because they don't take into accou ...
Synchronization of speech, facial expressions and body gestures is one of the most critical problems in realistic avatar animation in virtual environments. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing a new high-level animation language to describe ...
