Computer animation for virtual humans

Yes / Advances in computer animation techniques
have spurred increasing levels of
realism and movement in virtual characters that closely
mimic physical reality. Increases in computational
power and control methods enable the creation of 3D
virtual humans for real-time interactive applications.
Artificial intelligence techniques and autonomous
agents give computer-generated characters a life of
their own and let them interact with other characters
in virtual worlds. Developments and advances in networking
and virtual reality (VR) let multiple participants
share virtual worlds and interact with
applications or each other.
