Interactive Demonstration of Pointing Gestures for Virtual Trainers
نویسندگان
چکیده
While interactive virtual humans are becoming widely used in education, training and delivery of instructions, building the animations required for such interactive characters in a given scenario remains a complex and time consuming work. One of the key problems is that most of the systems controlling virtual humans are mainly based on pre-defined animations which have to be re-built by skilled animators specifically for each scenario. In order to improve this situation this paper proposes a framework based on the direct demonstration of motions via a simplified and easy to wear set of motion capture sensors. The proposed system integrates motion segmentation, clustering and interactive motion blending in order to enable a seamless interface for programming motions by demonstration.

Interactive Motion Modeling and Parameterization by Direct Demonstration
While interactive virtual humans are becoming widely used in education, training and therapeutic applications, building animations which are both realistic and parameterized in respect to a given scenario remains a complex and time–consuming task. In order to improve this situation, we propose a framework based on the direct demonstration and parameterization of motions. The presented approach ...
متن کاملInteractive Predictive Parsing using a Web-based Architecture
This paper introduces a Web-based demonstration of an interactive-predictive framework for syntactic tree annotation, where the user is tightly integrated into the interactive parsing system. In contrast with the traditional postediting approach, both the user and the system cooperate to generate error-free annotated trees. User feedback is provided by means of natural mouse gestures and keyboa...
متن کاملNovel Interactive Control Interface for Centaur-like Service Robot
The paper considers the case, where a service robot and human operator work together in the same working area. A novel control interface improves the communication and interaction between robot and operator. Commands and supervision are made by speech and gestures – the most natural communication for humans. Innovative yo-yo handcontroller provides unique control possibilities for all kind of t...

متن کاملGestures of a virtual guide
This thesis describes a research project on the development of a virtual guide resulting in an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA), which means it is capable of interacting with users through verbal and nonverbal communication. Since an ECA requires a lot of functionality, equal to the combined functionality of a dialogue system, a multimodal interface and a software agent [CSPC00], existing so...
