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. Despite recent impressive results when simulating and rendering thousands of individuals, many challenges still exist in this area.The comparison of simulation with reality, the realistic appearance of virtual humans and their behavior, group structure and their motion, and collision avoidance are just some exampl...

The 20 research papers in this volume demonstrate novel models and concepts in animation and graphics simulation. Special emphasis is given on innovative approaches to Modelling Human Motion, Models of Collision Detection and Perception, Facial Animation and Communication, Specific Animation Models, Realistic Rendering for Animation, and Behavioral Animation.

The LNCS 15915 constitutes the proceedings from the 38th International Conference on Computer Animation and Social Agents, CASA 2025, held in Strasbourg, France, during June 2–4, 2025.The 20 papers (17 from the main conference and 3 from the AniNex workshop) presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. These papers focus on various aspects of Computer Animation and Social Agents, such as Motion Capture & Retargeting, Physics-based Animation, Vision-based Tech...

The 2nd edition of this book provides an updated and extended look into the advancements in Virtual Reality and the metaverse. The history and origins of Virtual Reality, crowd simulation and virtual surgery are thoroughly explored. Applications in the cultural heritage and sports domains are also examined and described in detail. There are new contributions on Senses and Sensors, Brain-Computer interfaces, Game Engines, and Immersive Sound. This edition also provides a comprehensive look ...

This edited book is one of the first to describe how Autonomous Virtual Humans and Social Robots can interact with real people and be aware of the surrounding world using machine learning and AI. It includes:· Many algorithms related to the awareness of the surrounding world such as the recognition of objects, the interpretation of various sources of data provided by cameras, microphones, and wearable sensors· Deep Learning Methods to provide solutions to Visual Attention, ...

This book is a collection of papers from international experts presented at the International Conference on NextGen Electronic Technologies (ICNETS2). ICNETS2 encompassed six symposia covering all aspects of electronics and communications engineering, including relevant nano/micro materials and devices. Highlighting recent research in intelligent embedded systems, the book is a valuable resource for professionals and students working in the core areas of electronics and their applications,...

This open access book details the relationship between the artist and their created works, using tools such as information technology, computer environments, and interactive devices, for a range of information sources and application domains. This has produced new kinds of created works which can be viewed, explored, and interacted with, either as an installation or via a virtual environment such as the Internet. These processes generate new dimensions of understanding and experience for b...
