Abstract

We describe a platform to build virtual environments inhabited by autonomous virtual humans. We propose an architecture comprising several software components assembled to define a platform. The architecture includes a 3D-modelling software, a rendering engine, a library for simulating rigid body dynamics and an agent development framework.

A Tool for Constructing 3D Environments with Virtual Agents

The use of Virtual Environments as a user interface is essential for certain types of applications, both in education and entertainment. These worlds are even more attractive for the user when they are neither static nor pre-scripted, but have dynamic ...

SAP '13: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Applied Perception

We explore whether a gender-matched, calibrated self-avatar affects the perception of the affordance of stepping off of a ledge, or visual cliff, in an immersive virtual environment. Visual cliffs form demonstrations in many immersive virtual ...
