Interaction meshes are a promising approach for generating natural behaviors of virtual characters during ongoing user interactions. In this paper, we propose several extensions to the interaction mesh approach based on statistical analyses of the underlying example interactions. By applying principal component analysis and correlation analysis in addition to joint distance calculations, both the interaction mesh topology and the constraints used for mesh optimization can be generated in an automated fashion that accounts for the spatial and temporal contexts of the interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
