| Abstract | This work describes a character animation system designed for the real time generation of natural gestures. The system is part of a project to build a conversational humanoid, Rea, which supports both multi-modal input and output. An animation system built for this purpose must integrate all different approaches to animation control and have excellent external synchronization features. This thesis describes a way to conceptualize and organize different motor control systems to drive animation for a virtual character as well as a technique for synchronizing gesture and speech output. It also presents the design and implementation of Pantomime, an animation system based on these concepts. Thesis Supervisor: Justine Cassell Title: Professor, MIT Media Laboratory |
