Objectives

We concentrate our efforts on virtual humans driven in an interactive way, thanks to motion capture. The main problem when controlling avatars in such a way is the difference between the real world, and the simulated world. The virtual manikin to be driven can be morphologically different from the actor being observed and this implies finding algorithms that recreate plausible movements enforcing defined constraints and goals. The second main difference between both worlds deals with the environment: the virtual human is to interact with a virtual product which has no real world counterpart (otherwise the methods interest is lost) ; we must thus define a hybrid force/velocity strategy enabling to interact with the virtual environment while enforcing environment constraints (mainly non penetration).
