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 introduces an approach to performance animation that employs video cameras
and a small set of retro-reflective markers to create a low-cost, easy-to-use system that might …

This paper presents a novel physics-based representation of realistic character motion. The
dynamical model incorporates several factors of locomotion derived from the biomechanical …

An ambitious goal in the area of physics-based computer animation is the creation of virtual
actors that autonomously synthesize realistic human motions and possess a broad …

In this paper we present a novel system for sketching the motion of a character. The process
begins by sketching a character to be animated. An animated motion is then created for the …

In this paper we present a general method for rapid prototyping of realistic character motion.
We solve for the natural motion from a simple animation provided by the animator. Our …

Physically based simulation of human motions is an important issue in the context of
computer animation, robotics and biomechanics. We present a new technique for allowing …

We introduce an acting-based animation system for creating and editing character animation
at interactive speeds. Our system requires minimal training, typically under an hour, and is …

This article is a survey of research areas in which motion plays a pivotal role. The aim of the
article is to review current approaches to modeling motion together with related data …

In late 2006, Nintendo released a new game controller, the Wiimote, which included a three-
axis accelerometer. Since then, a large variety of novel applications for these controllers …
