Exergames do not have the capacity to detect whether the players are really enjoying the game-play. The games are not intelligent enough to detect significant emotional states and adapt accordingly in order to offer a ...

Forward and Backward Reaching Inverse Kinematics (FABRIK) is a recent iterative inverse kinematics solver that became very popular because of its simplicity, convergence speed and control performance, especially in models ...

We present a novel GPU-based method for accelerating the visibility function computation of the lighting equation in dynamic scenes composed of rigid objects. The method pre-computes, for each object in the scene, the ...

There has been an increasing use of pre-recorded motion capture data for animating virtual characters and syn- thesising different actions

Motion capture (mocap) technology is an efficient method for digitizing art performances, and is becoming increasingly popular in the preservation and dissemination of dance performances. Although technically the captured ...

Computation of illumination with soft-shadows from all-frequency environment maps, is a computationally expensive process. Use of pre-computation add the limitation that receiver's geometry must be known in advance, since ...

Rendering crowded scenes with thousands of different animated virtual people in real time is challenging. An image-based rendering approach for displaying multiple avatars is proposed. The system allows real-time rendering ...

We introduce a new mesh representation for arbitrary surfaces that integrates different levels of detail into the final representation. It is produced after remeshing an existing model and omits storing connectivity ...

This study examines attributes of virtual human behavior that may increase the plausibility of a simulated crowd and affect the user's experience in Virtual Reality. Purpose-developed experiments in both Immersive and ...
