| We have completed the design of Rufus v2.0, the first revision to expand on the class project put together by myself and Robert Burke for "Techniques for Interactive Characters" in Fall '99. Rufus, is the group's first expansion into the realm of controlling physically based creatures (vs pixels) with its behavior and motor architecture. This new version of Rufus adds real-world sensing to include vision, audition, and other sensory inputs that will then be fed back into the Synthetic Characters behavior system for feedback and control. Rufus will also be given added expressiveness by expanding his facial expressions from 6 degrees of freedom, to approximately 16. | |||
