Inverse kinematics (IK) is the use of kinematic equations to determine the joint parameters of
a manipulator so that the end effector moves to a desired position; IK can be applied in many …

Inverse Kinematics is defined as the problem of determining a set of appropriate joint
configurations for which the end effectors move to desired positions as smoothly, rapidly …

We present a realistic, robust, and computationally fast method of solving highly non-linear
inverse kinematic problems with angular limits using the Gauss-Seidel iterative method. Our …

This paper introduces a motion retargeting method that preserves self-contacts and prevents
inter-penetration. Self-contacts, such as when hands touch each other or the torso or the …

With the increase number of companies focusing on commercializing Augmented Reality
(AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and wearable devices, the need for a hand based input …

In this paper, we present a novel low-cost computationally efficient method to accurately
assess human gait by monitoring the 3D trajectory of the lower limb, both left and right legs …

Many Virtual Reality (VR) applications usually visualize only the VR controllers or floating
hands. However, to create an immersive experience, a full-body avatar is essential. We …

Skinning transformations enable digital characters to be animated with minimal user input.
Physics simulations can improve the detailed dynamic movement of an animated character; …

This paper presents a method of reconstructing full-body locomotion sequences for virtual
characters in real-time, using data from a single inertial measurement unit (IMU). This …

Real-time full-body motion capture (MoCap) is becoming necessary for enabling natural
interactions and creating deeper immersion in virtual reality (VR). To reduce the cost and …
