Much of the work concerned with virtual environments has addressed the development of new rendering technologies or interaction techniques. As the technology matures and becomes widely available, there is, however, a need to better understand how this technology can be accommodated in software engineering practice. In particular, virtual environments have the potential to support interaction te...

The World of Virtual Actors

The long-term objective of our research is the visualization of the simulation of the behavior of realistic human beings, called synthetic actors, in a given environment, interactively decided by the animator. The ultimate reason for developing realistic-looking synthetic actors is to be able to use them in virtually any scene that recreates the real world. However, a virtual scene-beautiful th...
