Title
Compound facial expression on characters
Goal
To modify the Smartbody system to display compound facial expressions
Description
The SmartBody system for graphical characters is available from the Institute of creative technologies at the University of Southern California - see https://smartbody.ict.usc.edu. It uses either a behaviour Markup language (BML) or Python to produce expressive behaviour of both facial expression and gesture. It supports the display of facial expressions using the Facial Action Coding System. This project will create some small examples of situations in which there is an overlay of two different expressions either simultaneously (eg. an angry smile or in rapid succession - anger quickly overlaid by a smile. A small study will evaluate the naturalism and believability of the results.
