Head of National Research Centre for Computer Animation
Visitor experience Innovation through Systematic Text Analytics and Augmented Reality. The project is focused on generating new and repeat visitors to cultural heritage sites and to make an impact on regional economies. The tools developed by the project will be made available to other UK and French cultural heritage sites […]
Advanced ODE Based Head Modelling for Chinese Marionette Art Preservation Project Website: http://www.euanim.org Puppetry has been a popular art form for many centuries in different cultures, which becomes a valuable and fascinating heritage assert. Traditional Chinese marionette art with over 2,000 years history. Marionette head carving skills provide unique identities and […]
Under what conditions will a bystander intervene to try to stop a violent attack by one person on another? It is generally believed that the greater the size of the crowd of bystanders, the less the chance that any of them will intervene. A complementary model is that social identity […]
As skin shape depends on the underlying anatomical structure, the anatomy-based techniques usually afford greater realism than the traditional skeleton-driven approach. On the downside, however, it is against the current animation workflow, as the animator has to model many individual muscles before the final skin layer arrives, resulting in an […]
This proposed research will develop a new facial modelling and animation approach which incorporates data and physics driven techniques and ordinary differential equation-based sweeping surfaces into a single framework. Project Website : http://wfs.bournemouth.ac.uk This research aims to develop a new technique of efficient and realistic skin deformations for human body […]
Development of a Laparoscopic Surgical Training System with Simulation Open Framework Architecture (SOFA). We have developed a physics engine which can be easily used and extended to develop other kinds of surgery simulation. To train trainee laparoscopic surgeons, methods such as relying on animals and cadavers usually cause ethical and moral […]
