Challenges in Crowd Simulation

Daniel Thalmann, Jonathan Maim, Helena Stephanie Grillon Le Gallennec, Barbara Yersin

The purpose of this paper is to identify the problems to solve in order to simulate real-time crowds in a Virtual Environment. We try to classify these problems and study how they have been addressed until now by the research community and our Lab in parti ...

6th Sense - Toward a Generic Framework for End-to-End Adaptive Wearable Augmented Reality

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Damien Perritaz

Augmented Reality enhances the user perception by overlaying real world information with virtual computer-generated information. The aims of the 6 th Sense pro ject are to maximize the user experience in mobile Augmented Reality and to improve the context- ...

Characterizing full-body reach duration across task and viewpoint modalities

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Damien Maupu

The full-body control of virtual characters is a promising technique for application fields such as Virtual Prototyping. However it is important to assess to what extent the user full-body behavior is modified when immersed in a virtual environment. In the ...

Visualization Learning for Visually Impaired People

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin, Frédéric Vexo

Virtual Environments (VE) are mainly visual experiments that exclude visually impaired people. In this paper we present an application that should allow almost everybody to ``see'' or at least to perceive 3D shapes. We will first describe the mandatory asp ...

Object manipulation and grasping for virtual humans

Tolga Abaci

Virtual environments need virtual humans that are capable of interacting with objects around them. Existing virtual environments have not found satisfactory general solutions for this problem. The common method is to combine pre-designed (or motion capture ...

Multimodal authoring tool for populating a database of emotional reactive animations

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

We aim to create a model of emotional reactive virtual humans. This model will help to define realistic behavior for virtual characters based on emotions and events in the virtual environment to which they react. A large set of pre-recorded animations will ...

Semantic virtual environments

The main problem targeted by this research is the lack of flexibility of virtual objects within a Virtual Environment. Virtual objects are difficult to re-use in applications or contexts different from the ones they were designed for. This refers mainly to ...

Virtual humans: thirty years of research, what next?

Daniel Thalmann

In this paper, we present research results and future challenges in creating realistic and believable virtual humans. To realize these modeling goals, real-time realistic representation is essential, but we also need interactive and perceptive virtual huma ...

Crowds for interactive virtual environments

Branislav Ulicny

Crowds are part of our everyday experience; nevertheless, in virtual worlds they are still relatively rare. In this thesis we explore the challenges of bringing crowds into interactive virtual environments and the possible applications of real-time interac ...

The complexity of testing a motivational model of action selection for virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

After implementing a motivational model of action selection applied to autonomous virtual humans inspired by models of animals' decision-making, the problem consists of testing it in good conditions for validation. Indeed this model has to respect the six ...
