Physics-Based Character Animation for AR Applications

Physics-based approach for character animation has advantages in interactive AR applications in that the approach can create realistic character motions that are responsive to non-predefined environment and user inputs. In this paper, we introduce two subjects on physics-based character animation. B...

Summary:Physics-based approach for character animation has advantages in interactive AR applications in that the approach can create realistic character motions that are responsive to non-predefined environment and user inputs. In this paper, we introduce two subjects on physics-based character animation. Biomechanical modeling of human characters is an effort to create more human-like motions than conventional methods by modeling the force generating function of muscles. Balance control is a fundamental technique necessary for a virtual character to perform as desired in simulated physical environment. We discuss challenges and future work to enable the physics-based approach for character animation to be widely adopted in AR applications.
