The Perceptive Puppet - Seamless Embodiment Exchange between Real and Virtual Humans in Virtual Environments for Training
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel mechanism that allows real and virtual humans to dynamically exchange the control of their embodiment in virtual environments. Such a mechanism raises two important issues: the possibility of dynamic embodiment exchanges between real humans and virtual humans and the continuity of actions of the team members after an exchange. To address these issues we introduce a new entity, the Perceptive Puppet that abstracts real and virtual humans into one common entity containing its own knowledge.

Integration of Avatars and Autonomous Virtual Humans in Networked Virtual Environments
In this paper, we survey problems and solutions for inserting virtual humans in Networked Virtual Environments. Using virtual humans as participant embodiment increases the collaboration in Networked Virtual Environments, as it provides a direct relationship between how we interact with the real world and the virtual world representation. We show the differences between avatars and autononous V...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
