| Summary: | A perception based strategy for communicating the gender of computer animated
characters is evaluated. Motivated by the idea that effective character animation
involves the expression of character traits through motion, this study
builds upon previous work in the areas of computer animation and ecological psychology
in an effort to more fully characterize the dynamic information which
leads to the perception of gender. Information specifying the masculinity or femininity
of a walking figure is considered in relation to the range across which the
indexes may be exaggerated and applied to objects not normally considered male
or female. |
