Virtual Humans ’ Behaviour : Individuals , Groups , and Crowds

چکیده
In this paper, we first try to identify which mechanisms should be simulated in order to implement truly virtual humans or actors. We start from a structure linking perception, emotion, behavior, and action. Then, we emphasize the central concept of autonomy and introduce the concept of Levels of Autonomy. Finally, we propose a new abstraction for specification of behaviours in complex virtual environment simulations involving human agents, groups of agents, and interactive objects endowed with different levels of autonomy.

Hierarchical Model for Real Time Simulation of Virtual Human Crowds
This paper describes a model for simulating crowds of humans in real time. We deal with a hierarchy composed of virtual crowds, groups and individuals. The groups are the most complex structure that can be controlled in different degrees of autonomy. This autonomy refers to the extent to which the virtual agents are independent of the user intervention and also the amount of information needed ...

متن کاملModelling Emotional Behaviour in Virtual Crowds through Expressive Body Movements and Emotion Contagion
Virtual crowds are gaining more relevance in computer graphics. Research in this area has been of great interest for both industrial and scientific activities related with entertainment and virtual simulation, and nowadays it is possible to generate virtual crowds with believable and complex behaviour. However, expression of emotion and social behaviour for multiple characters is a research are...
متن کاملAdaptive Crowd Behaviour to Aid Real-Time Rendering of a Cultural Heritage Environment
In current city visualisations crowds are being included to increase realism in the scene. With the self-steering nature of crowds it is traditionally difficult to control the number of humans that could be in view at any one time. While rendering speedups have been successfully applied for many years, this paper takes another approach with the aim to keep a steady frame rate. We attempt to inf...
متن کاملHuman responses to multiple sources of directional information in virtual crowd evacuations.
The evacuation of crowds from buildings or vehicles is one example that highlights the importance of understanding how individual-level interactions and decision-making combine and lead to the overall behaviour of crowds. In particular, to make evacuations safer, we need to understand how individuals make movement decisions in crowds. Here, we present an evacuation experiment with over 500 part...
