This project is funded under the EU Training and Mobility of
Researchers programme.
Project overview
This TMR project is designed to bring together a significant team of
workers in order to address problems common to virtual reality and
animation systems. These problems include modelling, implementation,
networked use, and control. There are many common issues which are
currently being addressed separately by the individual communities. VR
and animation are both showing early signs of maturity, so that we
believe it is exactly the correct time to ensure that the communities
inter-mix.
The interchange of workers which a TMR supports is an ideal vehicle for
us to achieve these aims. All partners have substantial relevant
backgrounds and are working in well-equipped laboratories. What is
missing is the interchange of skills which this proposal aims to
achieve.
Research
Realistic animation and simulation of multi-body systems
As part of this TMR project our institute contributes to realistic
animation and simulation of multi-body systems. This includes all
scientific investigation and the implementation of a "Library
for simulation of multi-body systems" in a period of 3 years,
starting with November 1996.
