Data driven Behaviour Models

Learning Finite State Machine Controllers from Motion Capture Data from Marco Gillies on Vimeo.

The aim of this research is to base the “AI” methods that control virtual characters on data of real human behaviour rather than purely a priori models. This will make it possible to capture the individuality and complexity of a real person’s behaviour. It will also make it enable actor’s to be more closely involved in the process of creating interactive characters, thus bringing a greater artistic insight into what has been, up to now a very technology driven process.
