Subject:<\/span><\/b> 3D human animation model<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

We are look=
\ning for a candidate
\nwith experience in 3D computer graphics. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Context:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The project
\ntakes place within the ECA system Greta. This ECA system accepts as input a
\ntext to be said by the agent. The text has been enriched with information o=
\nn
\nthe manner the text ought to be said (i.e. with which communicative acts it
\nshould be said). The behavioral engine computes the synchronized verbal and
\nnonverbal behaviors of the agent. The animation module follows the MPEG-4 a=
\nnd
\nthe H-Anim standards. <\/span>This w=
\nork is
\npart of the EU project CALLAS (<\/span>http:\/\/www.callas-newmedia.eu\/<\/span><\/span>). CALLAS aims to provide a new paradigm for investigating a more
\ncomprehensive set of emotions in multimodal interfaces tailored to New Medi=
\na
\nenvironments, changing the way we perceive contemporary and future media
\napplications.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Work to
\nbe done:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The
\nanimation module designed so far has implemented arm movements only. It nee=
\nds
\nto be extended to the full upper body, in particular to the torso and shoul=
\nder.
\nThe body animation needs also to produce more fluid animations.<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nanimation concerns communicative movement. Such a movement is decomposed in
\nvarious phases (preparation of the movement, stroke, hold, retraction). As =
\nbody
\nmovements and speech are synchronized with each other, the animation module
\nneeds to be flexible and allows for adaptation of the movement. =
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nanimation needs to work in real-time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nanimation will be driven through a language command of the type
\n=91move-shoulder-up=92 or =91bend-torso-forward=92. This language follows t=
\nhe BML
