Towards Agile Animated Characters

چکیده
Dynamic simulation is a potentially useful tool for creating realistic motion for animated characters. However, improved control techniques are required before this approach will bear fruit. We compare and contrast control for animation with control for robotics. This is followed by an overview of two control methods which were conceived in the context of computer animation, but which also have potential applications for robotic control.

Anthropomorphism influences perception of computer-animated characters' actions.
Computer-animated characters are common in popular culture and have begun to be used as experimental tools in social cognitive neurosciences. Here we investigated how appearance of these characters' influences perception of their actions. Subjects were presented with different characters animated either with motion data captured from human actors or by interpolating between poses (keyframes) de...
متن کاملSocial effects on vocal rate with echoic mimicry using prosody-only voice
We have been studying some of the essential factors that constitute interpersonal relations between humans and computers by focusing on social bonding in proto-communications (the interaction between adults and human infants or pets). From this viewpoint, this paper presents psychological experiments on the interaction between humans and animated characters that mimic the human voice at the pro...
متن کاملTesting the 'uncanny valley' hypothesis in semirealistic computer-animated film characters: An empirical evaluation of natural film stimuli
The uncanny valley (UV) hypothesis, which predicts that almost but not fully humanlike artificial characters elicit negative evaluations, has become increasingly influential. At the same time, the hypothesis has become associated with many computer-animated films that have aimed at high realism. In the present investigation, we tested whether semirealistic animated film characters do in fact el...
متن کاملAnimated Pedagogical Agents: The Effect of Visual Information on a Historical Figure Application
Animated Pedagogical Agents (APAs) can be defined as computer-based characters with 2D or 3D animated representation and interactive capabilities through one or more modalities (e.g. text, speech, emotion, gesture, eyes movements) (Clarebout, Elan, & Johnson., 2002; Clark & Choi,, 2005, Craig, Driscoll, & Gholson, 2004; Craig, Gholson, & Driscoll, 2002; Gulz & Haake, 2006). Importantly, APAs ha...
متن کاملComparing Perception of Affective Body Movements displayed by Actors and Animated Characters
This paper reports on a comparative study, which investigated how emotional body language, from animated characters and real actors, are perceived. The results are discussed in relation to the uncanny valley [1], which is a drop in believability as animated characters become more realistic [2]. The results showed that, videos of the actor were found to be more emotional, more believable and mor...
