Abstract:
The incorporation of virtual populations into virtual environments enhances the realism of these environments. Many effective algorithms have been developed to govern the movement of individual avatars. One [Loscos et al. 2003] combines local navigation rules based on a multi layer data system as in [Tecchia et al. 2001] while using goals for way finding. We designed a new system building on those ideas that adds new levels to this behavior in the form of points of attraction, evacuations and walking in small groups.
