Inventors:
Athomas Goldberg - Oakland CA, US
International Classification:
G06F 9/44
US Classification:
717168000
Abstract:
A distributed computing system includes a first discreet component application () instantiated on a first peer of a peer-to-peer network and a first run-time environment residing on the first peer. The discreet component application includes a component () and a container () configured for providing management services to the component.

Method And System For Scripting Interactive Animated Actors

US Patent:
62853805, Sep 4, 2001
Filed:
Nov 4, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/180333
Inventors:
Kenneth Perlin - New York NY
Athomas Goldberg - Brooklyn NY
Assignee:
New York University - New York NY
International Classification:
G06T 1570
US Classification:
345473
Abstract:
A system for the creation of real-time, behavior-based animated actors. The system provides tools to create actors that respond to users and to each other in real-time, with personalities and moods consistent with the author's goals and intentions. The system includes two subsystems. The first subsystem is an Animation Engine that uses procedural techniques to enable authors to create layered, continuous, non-repetitive motions and smooth transitions between them. The second subsystem is a Behavior Engine that enables authors to create sophisticated rules governing how actors communicate, change, and make decisions. The combined system provides an integrated set of tools for authoring the "minds" and "bodies" of interactive actors. The system uses an english-style scripting language so that creative experts who are not primarily programmers can create powerful interactive applications. The system allows authors of various abilities to create remarkably lifelike, responsively animated character interactions that can be run over networks in real time.
