Synthesizing pose, unconscious movement, and gesture for mental behavior expression of interactive characters

摘要

Mental communication with characters is important for many entertainment applications. Human's mental statuses are complex, and mental behaviors typically consist of multiple components, such as poses and various unconscious movements. In this paper, we propose the layered behavior synthesis technique for integrating mental behavior and conversational gestures. We compose various mental behavior representations by considering the spatial consistency and co-occurrence probability in interactive games. We also show an example of a game that incorporates the mental behavior synthesis technique.
