Virtual humans: thirty years of research, what next?
Graph Chatbot
Chattez avec Graph Search
Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
Population of Virtual Worlds with Virtual Humans is increasing rapidly by people who want to create a virtual life parallel to the real one (i.e. Second Life). The evolution of technology is smoothly providing the necessary elements to increase realism wit ...
This paper presents a sketching system for 3D organic shapes modeling and animation using virtual reality devices. On the hardware side, it is based on the Haptic Workstation™ which conveys force feedback on the user arms (upper body limbs), and a head mou ...
Simulating crowds in real time is a challenging problem that touches many different aspects of Computer Graphics: rendering, animation, path planning, behavior, etc. Our work has mainly focused on two particular aspects of real-time crowds: motion planning ...
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 ...
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 ...
To simulate realistic crowds of virtual humans in real time, three main requirements need satisfaction. First of all, quantity, i.e., the ability to simulate thousands of characters. Secondly, quality, because each virtual human composing a crowd needs to ...
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- ...
The tutorial will explain the techniques for integrating virtual humans into virtual and real environments. It will first present the concept of avatars and autonomous virtual actors and the main techniques to create and animate them (body and face). It wi ...
This paper discusses the main issues for creating interactive virtual environments with virtual humans emphasizing the following aspects: creation of virtual humans, gestures, interaction with objects, multimodal communication ...
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 ...
