Abstract
A method, system and computer program for modifying avatar motion. The method includes receiving an input motion, determining an input motion model for the input motion sequence, and modifying an avatar motion model associated with the stored avatar to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence when the avatar motion model does not approximate the input motion model. The stored avatar is presented after the avatar motion model associated with the stored avatar is modified to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence.
Claims20
A method for modifying avatar motion, the method comprising:
- receiving an input motion sequence;
- determining an input motion model for the input motion sequence;
- modifying an avatar motion model associated with a stored avatar to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence when the avatar motion model does not approximate the input motion model;
- and
- presenting the stored avatar after the avatar motion model associated with the stored avatar is modified to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence.
A system for modifying avatar motion, the system comprising:
- a system memory;
- a computer processor coupled to the system memory;
- a receiving unit coupled to the computer processor, the receiving unit to receive an input motion sequence;
- a determining unit to determine an input motion model for the input motion sequence;
- a modifying unit to modify an avatar motion model associated with a stored avatar to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence when the avatar motion model does not approximate the input motion model;
- and
- a presenting unit to present the stored avatar after the avatar motion model associated with the stored avatar is modified to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence.
A computer program product for modifying avatar motion, the computer program product comprising;
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to:
- receive an input motion sequence;
- determine an input motion model for the input motion sequence;
- modify an avatar motion model associated with a stored avatar to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence when the avatar motion model does not approximate the input motion model;
- and
- present the stored avatar after the avatar motion model associated with the stored avatar is modified to approximate the input motion model for the input motion sequence.
