Resumé:
Context:
A fundamental concept of REVERIE is the natural interaction between users through the medium of a shared virtual world. REVERIE envisages an ambient, content-centric Internet-based environment, highly flexible and secure, where people can work, meet, participate in live events, socialise and share experiences, as they do in real life, but without time, space and affordability limitations. To achieve this goal, REVERIE will focus on the integration of cutting-edge technologies related to 3D data acquisition and processing, sound processing, autonomous avatars, networking, real-time rendering, and physical interaction and emotional engagement in virtual worlds.
Objectives:
This thesis aims at achieving visually and audibly immersive 3D media internet experience, more particularly at developing fully autonomous virtual characters able to engage and communicate with avatars of real world users in an emotional and expressive manner. The two key concepts of this research are interaction and autonomy.
