Virtual Human Control for Reaching Tasks

In the framework of virtual prototyping, a virtual human is a useful tool to evaluate what one can reach or see. However because engineers and industrial designers are not necessarily skilled animators, it is important to provide intuitive or high-level in ...

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 ...

On scaling strategies for the full-body postural control of virtual mannequins

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Damien Maupu

Due to its intrinsic complexity. full-body postural input has been Mostly limited to off-line motion capture and to on-line Puppetry of a virtual character with little interaction with its environment (e.g. floor). The motion capture technology is now matu ...

Full-Body Avatar Control with Environment Awareness

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Manuel Peinado, Daniel Raunhardt, Damien Maupu

Interactive control of virtual characters through full-body movement requires accurately reproducing a performer's motion while accounting for surrounding obstacles. The authors' approach, based on a prioritized inverse kinematics solver, satisfies marker ...

Accurate On-line Avatar Control with Collision Anticipation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Manuel Peinado, Daniel Raunhardt, Damien Maupu

Interactive control of a virtual character through full body movement has a wide range of applications. However, there is a need for systems that accurately reproduce the motion of a performer while accounting for surrounding obstacles. We propose an appro ...
