Led by Academy Award winner Mark Sagar, the Laboratory for Animate Technologies is pioneering neurobehavioral animation that combines biologically based models of faces and neural systems to create live, naturally intelligent, and highly expressive interactive systems. BabyX and the Auckland Face Simulator are two of their current projects.
- BabyX is an autonomously animated psychobiological simulation of an infant that reacts and learns in real time.
- The Auckland Face Simulator has been developed to create realistic, autonomously interactive, highly expressive human faces for use in applications from perceptual psychology research to new human-computer-interface technologies.
Real-Time Live! showcases the most innovative and interactive real-time graphics, immersive experiences, and interactive techniques created in the last 12 months.
