Interactive Control of Avatars Animated with Human Motion Data
, 2002
"... Real-time control of three-dimensional avatars is an important problem in the context of computer games and virtual environments. Avatar animation and control is difficult, however, because a large repertoire of avatar behaviors must be made available, and the user must be able to select from this s ..."

Towards the Integration of Synthetic SL Animation with Avatars into Corpus Annotation Tools
"... We outline the main features of our synthetic virtual human sign language system, JASigning. We describe how we have extended its input notation, SiGML, to allow explicit control of performance time, and we describe our initial steps on the path to integrating virtual human sign language performance ..."

Affordable Gesture Recognition Based Avatar Control System:
, 2007
"... We are developing a novel interface for controlling the behavior of physical (e.g., a personal robot) or virtual (e.g., an animated agent such as in Second Life) avatars. As the morphologies of these avatars become more sophisticated, it becomes more difficult to convey, compellingly and effectively ..."

are developing an intuitively understandable and affordable device to control personal robots such as the Huggable, as well as sophisticated avatars in virtual worlds like the Second Life. A new puppeteering device can control an avatar by capturing a human operator's motion directly through an IR vision
Integrate and Conquer – the Next Generation of Intelligent Avatars
- ACM SIGCHI International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology ACE 2005, Special Session on Computer Games Technology 15th - 17th
"... FreeWill+ is a framework that aims at integrating various animation techniques for controlling human-like characters. With heterogeneity and multi-layering as its main design principles, the system contains a society of complex interrelated animation components (actions), executing on various levels ..."

Motion Capture Integration with Tele-immersion Virtual Environment
"... This paper is in the field of tele-immersion, which pertains to the use of technology to virtually represent three dimensional bodies from remote locations. The primary goal of the project is to integrate real time motion capture data into the existing virtual environment and subsequently minimize t ..."

the time required to render the bodies when facial movements and other detailed characteristics are not essential. The data from the motion capture system would be used to either control a three dimensional human model avatar or be represented as a set of markers for interaction in virtual space.
AGENT BASED FRAMEWORK FOR AVATAR INTERACTIONS IN AN ADAPTIVE VIRTUAL WORLD GAME ENVIRONMENT
"... Technology has progressed by leaps and bounds by making a big footprint on society at large, but more than often we notice the basic infrastructure of social setup not progressing, in many cases quite stagnantnoticeably healthcare[2][3]. While acknowledging progress in healthcare technology- enablin ..."

Interaction Between Real and Virtual Humans: Playing Checkers
- Proc. Eurographics Workshop on Virtual Environments
, 2000
"... . For some years, we have been able to integrate virtual humans into virtual environments. As the demand for Augmented Reality systems grows, so will the need for these synthetic humans to coexist and interact with humans who live in the real world. In this paper, we use the example of a checkers ..."

checkers game between a real and a virtual human to demonstrate the integration of techniques required to achieve a realistic-looking interaction in real-time. We do not use cumbersome devices such as a magnetic motion capture system. Instead, we rely on purely image-based techniques to address
Control Behavior of 3D Humanoid Animation Object Using Reinforcement Learning

Rapid Avatar Capture and Simulation Using Commodity Depth Sensors
"... We demonstrate a process for capturing human subjects and gener-ating digital characters from those models using commodity scan-ning hardware. Our process is capable of capturing a human subject using still four poses, constructing a 3D model, then registering it and controlling it within an animati ..."
