Paper Abstract:
|
Creating realistic virtual humans is a multidisciplinary effort, involving computer scientists specialized in computer graphics, virtual reality and human-computer interaction, as well as neuroscientists. This paper discusses, under the context of an EU-funded project, the state of the art in this regard, open challenges and future trends. Modifying how a virtual human looks, speaks, behaves or can be controlled is critical to the development of future collaborative virtual environments, while boosting other industries (games, movies
) by offering a new set of possibilities currently out of reach for most. |
