Interactive Low-Dimensional Human Motion Synthesis by Combining Motion Models and PIK

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

This paper explores the issue of interactive low-dimensional human motion synthesis. We compare the performances of two motion models, i.e. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) or Probabilistic PCA (PPCA), for solving a constrained optimization problem with ...

INTERACTIVE APPLICATIONS IN A MANDATORY CONTROL COURSE

Roland Longchamp, Yves Henri Philippe Piguet

This paper describes how a mandatory control course is enhanced with interactive applications. Basic concepts of automatic control, different ways to assess performance and robustness of a controlled system, and limits of closed- loop systems are illustrat ...

Magic wand and the Enigma of the Sphinx

Daniel Thalmann, Olivier Renault, Frédéric Vexo, Tolga Abaci, Mireille Clavien, Jan Ciger

This paper presents an evaluation of the benefits and user acceptance of a multimodal interface in which the user interacts with a game-like interactive virtual reality application "The Enigma of the Sphinx". The interface consists of a large projection sc ...

An interactive interface for directing virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann

Research on virtual humans spans from body animation to speech generation. In many cases research systems are isolated software pieces and can only be used after a steep learning curve. A novel system is presented which integrates a large repertoire of vir ...

Interface pour le pilotage et l'analyse des robots basée sur un générateur de cinématiques

In robotics we depend on software tools during design, modeling, programming and testing. These tools are essentials, often indispensable aids for developing and operating sophisticated robotic systems. At the same time, these tools are complex and usually ...

An interface for the interactive design of artistic screens

Roger Hersch

The article presents the concepts and the tools involved in the interactive design of artistic screens. The screen elements are derived from a small set of analytical contours provided by the screen designer. We present the requirements that these contours ...

Sensor based synthetic actors in a tennis game simulation

Daniel Thalmann

We propose a model of a tennis game simulation with synthetic actors as players and a referee. The behaviour of these actors is based on their synthetic vision and audition. Physical modeling of the ball dynamic and sound rendering enhance realism. An inte ...
