DO PARTNERS CARE ABOUT THEIR MUTUAL LOCATION? Spatial awareness in virtual environments.

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova

This paper reports on four experimental studies concerning regard to how people use space so as to solve problems collaboratively in virtual environments. Prior to presenting the results, it summarizes the wide range of literature concerning social uses of ...

Speculative planning with delegation

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

This paper presents a novel method of collaborative problem solving for intelligent agents in virtual environments. We describe a planner for STRIPS-like domains enhanced by techniques of "delegated computing". Instead of having one central planner with co ...

Controlling Virtual Humans Using PDAs

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

The new breed of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) and mobile phones have enough computing power to display 3D graphics. These new mobile devices (handhelds) have some other interesting communication and interaction possibilities as well. In this paper we ...

Bringing the human arm reachable space to a virtual environment for its analysis

Ronan Boulic, Manuel Peinado

Human reaching in a 3D environment is an interesting matter of research due to its application to workplace or vehicle-interior design. We introduce a 3D environment where a virtual human performs reaching tasks over 3D objects in the world. This environme ...

Path finding for human motion in virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann

This paper presents an efficient and robust technique for generating global motion paths for a human model in virtual environments. Initially, a scene is discretized using raster hardware to generate an environment map. An obstacle-free cell path sub-optim ...

Anyone for tennis?

Daniel Thalmann, Amaury Aubel

The authors present a virtual tennis game. They describe the creation and modeling of the virtual humans and body deformations, also showing the real-time animation and rendering aspects of the avatars. They focus on the animation of the virtual tennis bal ...

Body expression in virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

As technology improves, virtual reality interfaces based on body actions and expressions are becoming more and more important. In the domain of games, an evident application is the control of the hero by body actions. The robotics domain is another area wh ...

A rule-based interactive behavioral animation system for humanoids

Daniel Thalmann

We present a versatile, behavioral, and rule-based animation system that includes autonomous humanoid actors whose behavior is based on synthetic sensors that are used for perceiving the virtual environment. We combine the following in a consistent approac ...

Autonomous actors in networked collaborative virtual environments

Daniel Thalmann

Introducing seemingly autonomous virtual beings into virtual environments to co-habit and collaborate with us is a continuous challenge and source of interest. Latest proof of human excitement for virtual life is the current worldwide craze for electronic ...

Consistent grasping in virtual environments based on the interactive grasping automata

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Zhouji Huang

Proposes a general framework to enhance grasping interactions of an operator wearing a digital glove. The authors focus on a consistent interpretation of the posture information acquired with the glove in order to reflect the grasp of virtual artifacts. Th ...
