Physics simulation offers the possibility of truly responsive and realistic animation. Despite
wide adoption of physics simulation for the animation of passive phenomena, such as fluids …

This paper surveys the set of techniques developed in computer graphics for animating
human walking. First we focus on the evolution from purely kinematic 'knowledge …

Recent years have seen enormous advances in computerization and digitization as well as
a corresponding growth in the use of information technology allowing users to access and …

Written by the foremost authority on the subject, Kinetics of Human Motion is the sequel and
companion to the 1998 text Kinematics of Human Motion. World-renowned biomechanics …

Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

Optimization is an appealing way to compute the motion of an animated character because it
allows the user to specify the desired motion in a sparse, intuitive way. The difficulty of …

The rapid introduction of sophisticated computers, services, telecommunications systems,
and manufacturing systems has caused a major shift in the way people use and work with …

In this paper, we describe the concept and implementation of a dynamics filter, an online, full-
body motion generator that converts a physically infeasible reference motion into a feasible …

Optimization is a promising way to generate new animations from a minimal amount of input
data. Physically based optimization techniques, however, are difficult to scale to complex …
