Title:
- Multi-touch Interface for Character Motion Control
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Currently the flexibility of character motion control in interactive applications is very limited. Since common input devices such as a gamepad, mouse or keyboard. have only a small number of buttons, the user can do nothing but simply select an action from a few pre-created actions by pressing an associated button and make a character perform any fixed action such as walking, punching or kicking. Sometimes a user wants to pose the character freely or make the character perform various actions in the user’s own style. This is particularly important in some applications such as fighting games, a dancing animation or online communication using avatars. Using inverse kinematics (IK), a user could control a character’s pose in detail. However, with conventional input devices, the user can control only one end-effect at a time.
