چکیده

This paper discusses the problem of simulating the artificial life of realistic synthetic actors. It first presents the development of the general concept of autonomous actors reacting to their environment and taking decisions based on perception systems, memory and reasoning. An example of vision-based animation with an individualized walking model is detailed. Then, we discuss facial animation techniques for synthetic actors. Finally, we show how to improve the appearance of synthetic actors by dressing them and designing hairstyles for them.

Social Computing Life-like Characters as Social Actors

Social Computing aims to support the tendency of humans to interact with computers as if they were veritable social actors. Technology that reinforces the bias toward social interaction by producing appropriate responses may improve the communication between humans and computational devices. We believe that the most natural way to realize social computing is by using life-like synthetic charact...

Autonomous Virtual Actors Based on Virtual Sensors

In this paper, we present current research developments in the Virtual Life of autonomous synthetic actors. After a brief description of the perception action principles with a few simple examples, we emphasize the concept of virtual sensors for virtual humans. In particular, we describe in details our experiences in implementing virtual vision, tactile and audition. We then describe perception...
