Towards real time virtual human life simulations

Daniel Thalmann, Etienne De Sevin

We describe an approach to construct interactive virtual environments, which are suitable for the development of artificial virtual human life simulations. Our main goal is to have virtual human actors living and working autonomously in virtual environment ...

Augmented reality for real and virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Michal Ponder

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 ...

ACE: a platform for the real time simulation of virtual human agents

Daniel Thalmann, Jean-Sébastien Monzani

The paper describes a system platform for virtual human agent simulations that is able to coherently manage the shared virtual environment. Our “agent common environment” (ACE) provides built-in commands for perception and for acting, while the ...

A Distributed Architecture for Teleoperation over the Internet with Application to the Remote Control of an Inverted Pendulum

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann

This paper discusses challenges in enabling teleoperation over the Internet for the specific case of real systems which exhibit fast dynamics. A distributed client-server architecture is proposed to provide the necessary level of interactivity for supervis ...

A paradigm for controlling virtual humans in urban environment simulations

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

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 ...

Conferring human action recognition skills to life-like agents

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Most of today's virtual environments are populated with some kind of autonomous life-like agents. Such agents follow a preprogrammed sequence of behaviours that excludes the user as a participating entity in the virtual society. In order to make inhabited ...

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 ...

Towards autonomous, perceptive, and intelligent virtual actors

Daniel Thalmann

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 ...

Level of autonomy for virtual human agents

Daniel Thalmann

This paper proposes a paradigm for specification of virtual human agents` level of autonomy. The idea we present in this paper aims at optimising the required complexity of agents in order to perform realistic simulations. The paradigm is based on the dist ...
