Abstract:
We present a new environment for browsing a visual landscape inhabited by
digital movies that live, interact and play in a graphical virtual world.
The movies are modeled as autonomous agents which have their own sensors
and goals and which can interpret the actions of the participant and react
to them. Our environment allows one---or more---people to interact with
the HyperPlex world through the use of vision techniques. No goggles,
gloves or wires are needed: interaction takes place with the use of
computer vision techniques that analyze the image of the person. An
extension of this system to a multi-user game is currently being
considered.
