Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

Creator:: Strawn, Jordan J.
Abstract:: The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...
