Toward Virtual Humans

Abstract

This paper describes the virtual humans developed as part of the Mission Rehearsal Exercise project, a virtual reality based training system. This project is an ambitious exercise in integration, both in the sense of integrating technology with entertainment industry content, but also in that we have joined a number of component technologies that have not been integrated before. This integration has not only raised new research issues, but it has also suggested some new approaches to difficult problems.
