Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Analysing/Resynthesising Dynamics Study effect of manipulating temporal characteristics of emotions, e.g. smiles [Emotion 2007] Trust game: – –Randomly assigned a counterpart – –Cooperation leads to mutual financial gains
Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Analysing/Resynthesising Dynamics What did we learn? –‘Genuine’ Dynamics = More likeable/Trustworthy –‘Fake’ Dynamics = Less Likeable/Trustworthy

Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Animating 3D Models
Towards Human-Realistic Animation by Studying Human Dynamics Darren Cosker Conclusions and Future Directions Humans are very sensitive to different dynamics Different dynamics can produce dramatically different perceptual effects Understanding these effects is key for producing human-realism Technology now allows study of 3D dynamics - our work has only just started!
