Immersive singularity-free full-body interactions with reduced marker set

Despite the large success of games grounded on movement-based interactions the current state of full-body motion capture technologies still prevents the exploitation of precise interactions with complex environments. The first key requirement in the line o ...

Motion Synergies for Real-Time Postural Control in Virtual Environments

Daniel Raunhardt

Virtual prototyping has become an important part during the product development process. The common way to let a user interact with the virtual prototype is the use of a three dimensional virtual mannequin that is controlled by the user. These human figure ...

Full-Body Avatar Control with Environment Awareness

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Thalmann, Manuel Peinado, Damien Maupu, Daniel Raunhardt

Interactive control of virtual characters through full-body movement requires accurately reproducing a performer's motion while accounting for surrounding obstacles. The authors' approach, based on a prioritized inverse kinematics solver, satisfies marker ...

Integrated Analytic and Linearized Inverse Kinematics for Precise Full Body Interactions

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Raunhardt

Despite the large success of games grounded on movement-based interactions the current state of full body motion capture technologies still prevents the exploitation of precise interactions with complex environments. This paper focuses on ensuring a precis ...

Motion constraint

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Raunhardt

In this paper, we propose a hybrid postural control approach taking advantage of data-driven and goal-oriented methods while overcoming their limitations. In particular, we take advantage of the latent space characterizing a given motion database. We intro ...

Real-Time Joint Coupling of the Spine for Inverse Kinematics

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Raunhardt

In this paper we propose a simple model for the coupling behavior of the human spine for an inverse kinematics framework. Our spine model exhibits anatomically correct motions of the vertebrae of virtual mannequins by coupling standard swing and revolute j ...

Accurate On-line Avatar Control with Collision Anticipation

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Thalmann, Manuel Peinado, Damien Maupu, Daniel Raunhardt

Interactive control of a virtual character through full body movement has a wide range of applications. However, there is a need for systems that accurately reproduce the motion of a performer while accounting for surrounding obstacles. We propose an appro ...
