Title:

    A walking motion morphing method based on statistical data of the elderly

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Technologies to create numerous motions from a motion data are sought for in order to increase a variety of motions of 3D characters in virtual space. A number of methods have been proposed to increase the variation of walking of people. They consider physical geometric attributes such as standing height and seating height, and motion attributes, but do not consider the postural changes with aging.
