Case study for Animating Virtual Human

Posted by | Feb 15, 2018 |

Abstract In the last decades, the generation of 3D animations has proven to be a significant challenge and has limit commercial usage due to the high costs associated. Improvements in software motion capture system and calibration allow us to extract motion even from specific motion. This paper presents a fast and complete pipeline for capturing martial art movements. Keywords Motion capture, Digitization process, 3D reconstruction, movement modelling, Avatar animation Nowadays, various fields such as medical and entertainment industries, education or cultural preservation are using virtual humans. Much work has been done in the computer graphics domain to push the...

A VIRTUAL RECONSTRUCTION OF AN IRON AGE TOWN

Posted by | Feb 12, 2018 |

Abstract The scientific research carried out in recent years at the archaeological site of Ullastret (Empordà, Catalonia) by the Archaeological Museumof Cataloniahas been the basis of a virtual reconstruction of the Iberian town of Ullastretand its surrounding landscape. This project involved a highly interdisciplinary team from several public and private European organizations. These professionals designed and implemented a digital storytelling experience based on the 3D model and displayed by means of two different technologies: an immersive roomat Ullastret Museum, and a VR headsetthat will soon be available at the central premises of Archaeological Museum of Catalonia. Preliminary visitor studies...

TOWARDS HOLISTIC DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION

TOWARDS HOLISTIC DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION

Posted by | Dec 27, 2017 |

Abstract The emergence of a holistic approach to monument documentation is inextricably associated with the term ‘monument’, the quest of its meaning and its interpretation to the people involved in the documenta-tion of the past. The main reason is the necessity to set tangible heritage in its wider context, and relate it with its physical environment and its intangible aspects (spiritual, political and social values) [1–3]. In this way, a monument can be seen as a whole, within a place with a soul – a genius loci [4]. This example focuses on the holistic approach taken to documentation activities...
