Capture de mouvementLa capture de mouvement (motion capture en anglais, parfois abrégé en mocap) est une technique permettant d'enregistrer les positions et rotations d'objets ou de membres d'êtres vivants, pour en contrôler une contrepartie virtuelle sur ordinateur (caméra, modèle 3D, ou avatar). Une restitution visuelle de ces mouvements en temps réel est faite via le moteur de rendu 3D de l'application interfacée avec le matériel utilisé qui peut les stocker dans un fichier d'animation de type BVH pour être traités ultérieurement dans un logiciel 3D classique (Maya, 3dsMax, XSI, Cinema4d, etc.
Multisensory integrationMultisensory integration, also known as multimodal integration, is the study of how information from the different sensory modalities (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, self-motion, and taste) may be integrated by the nervous system. A coherent representation of objects combining modalities enables animals to have meaningful perceptual experiences. Indeed, multisensory integration is central to adaptive behavior because it allows animals to perceive a world of coherent perceptual entities.
Motion detectionMotion detection is the process of detecting a change in the position of an object relative to its surroundings or a change in the surroundings relative to an object. It can be achieved by either mechanical or electronic methods. When it is done by natural organisms, it is called motion perception.
Social supportSocial support is the perception and actuality that one is cared for, has assistance available from other people, and most popularly, that one is part of a supportive social network. These supportive resources can be emotional (e.g., nurturance), informational (e.g., advice), or companionship (e.g., sense of belonging); tangible (e.g., financial assistance) or intangible (e.g., personal advice). Social support can be measured as the perception that one has assistance available, the actual received assistance, or the degree to which a person is integrated in a social network.
