4 d. ago Dynamic model can generate realistic human motions and edit existing ones

When exploring their surroundings, communicating with others and expressing themselves, humans can perform a wide range of body motions. The ability to realistically replicate these motions, applying them to human and humanoid characters, could be highly valuable for the development of video games and the creation of animations, content that can be viewed using virtual reality (VR) headsets and training videos for professionals.

7 d. ago Using virtual reality to connect players with ocean ecosystems

Fewer people have been to the deepest parts of the ocean than have walked on the surface of the moon. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's Center for Transformational Play are hoping a virtual trip into the watery abyss will inspire connection with ocean ecosystems, even for people who've never been to a beach.
