This research introduces an approach for translating traditional dance knowledge into
interactive computational models extending beyond static dance performance recordings …

This paper proposes a method and a set of tools for staging avatar movements that are
controlled by a performer during a mixed reality theatrical performance. It refers to the field of …

Humans communicate to a large degree through nonverbal behavior. Nonverbal mimicry, ie,
the imitation of another's behavior can positively affect the social interactions. In virtual …

Robots cannot exactly replicate human motion, especially for low degree-of-freedom (DOF)
robots, but perceptual imitation has been accomplished. Nevertheless, the multiple …

We propose to review the main stages in the computer history of virtual actors, with a view to
the exploration of virtual reality and discussion on different approaches to human simulation …

Our work contributes to the design and study of artistic collaborative virtual environments
through the presentation of immersive and interactive digital artwork installation and the …

Working towards the goal of understanding complex, interactive movement in human dyads,
this paper presents a model for analyzing motion capture data of human pairs and proposes …

Endowing animated virtual characters with emotionally expressive behaviors is paramount
to improving the quality of the interactions between humans and virtual characters. Full-body …

A first approach to an autonomous virtual agent able to play body percussion with real body
percussionists is presented. The agent is autonomous in the sense that it can recognize the …

We propose to review the main stages in the history of computer-based virtual actors, with a
view to exploring virtual reality and discussing various approaches to human simulation. The …
