The virtual Museum is an application which has been developed for a
museum in Paris (Cité
des Sciences et de l'Industrie), and has been inaugurated in June
2001
as part of the new permanent exhibition on images of this museum. This
application has the advantage to integrate a lot of recent research
development
of the team. It consists of a museum visited by a group of autonomous
characters
and it is also inhabited by a cloud of suribirds. The humanoid motion
control
integrates three kinds of technics: a bio-mechanical model for
locomotion,
inverse kinematics algorithm for grasping or climbing and motion
capture
for specific gestures. Different motions can be applied simultaneously
to separate parts of the human body. As for Urban Environment, an
informed
environment has been specified to model the structure of the building
and
the interior architecture (cf map of the museum below).
