Project description
The wiri project aims to create character animation for the interactive context, based on Matauranga Māori approaches of devising live emotional performances. We want to enable the creation of truly emotive character animation for digital humans in the interactive context.
The summer research project will develop a demo game using our computation models. It includes working alongside an interdisciplinary team and basing the work on previous work within the project.
This project is for a single student.
