I'm completing an independant study project at NYU's famed Media Research Lab to be presented at SIGGRAPH 95. This involes human interaction with computer animated characters. No, this doesn't mean putting together a Who Framed Roger Rabbit film--it means you'll be able to walk around a room and a virtual woman will follow you with her eyes, backing up if you get too close, gesturing to you if you gesture to her (same to you, buddy), etc. The project combines immersive room technlogy with procedural animation.

I'm dealing with the human interaction side of things, which depends a great deal on computer vision. We read in a live video feed, frame by frame, figuring out where in a room the human is and what sort of movements she's up to.
