There will be demos of the new Human-Animation Working Group
(h-anim) specification at Siggraph in the CAL being demonstrated
for the course "Virtual Humans: Behaviors and Physics,
Acting and Reacting." chaired by Dr. Norman Badler.
In addition, you can see the some h-anim humans at the OpenWorlds'
Performer demo at the SGI demo booth.
These CAL demos will show VRML 2.0 running in the Transom
Jack software through extensions using DRaW's OpenWorlds VRML
libraries. One demo shows an h-anim-compatible Jack human
figure animated by Jack's inverse kinematics driving other
h-anim humans within Jack, as well as creating VRML animation
files which can be used in other browsers.
In addition, another demo will show the Jack figure
being driven by h-anim VRML animations created by other
animators on other systems (such as motion-capture).
**See Jack and floops acting together in an animation too!**
Stop by and see the h-anim spec in action, as well as how OpenWorlds
can be used to add VRML capabilities to any application, such
as Transom Technologies' Jack system.
Stop by the SGI booth and see another application using OpenWorlds.
This is a VRML 2.0 browser running on top of Performer's perfly
application, with the ability to load in VRML 2.0 wrl files as
well as dxf, flt, etc.
**See Egghead (and his evil brother Sam) visit Performer town!**
