  2. Outline • Introduction • Background • H-Anim Specifications • H-Anim Applications • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Representing Humanoid Is an Increasing Need on the Growing 3D Internet! • What We Need … • The Creation of Interchangeable Humanoids • Tools For Creating and Animating Humanoids • H-Anim : A Standard Way Representing Humanoids Based on VRML/X3D

  4. Background • VRML • X3D • VRML/X3D and H-Anim • MPEG-4, AML, VHML and H-Anim

  5. VRML(Virtual Reality Modeling Language) • VRML 1.0 : 1995, Silicon Graphics Inc. • Geometries, Materials, Viewpoints… • VRML 2.0 : 1997, Web3D Consortium • Animation, Prototyping, Scripting… • VRML97 : 1997 • NURBS, EAI (External Authoring Interface)… • An ISO Standard

  6. VRML (Cont.) • Not A Tag Language ? Inherit Concepts From Open Inventor • Node • Scene Graph #VRML V2.0 utf8 DEF ball Shape { appearance Appearance { material Material { } } geometry Sphere { radius 1.0 } } #Inventor V2.1 ascii DEF ball Group { Material { } Sphere { radius 1.0 } }

  7. X3D(Extensible 3D) • Extending and Upgrading the Geometry and Behavior Capabilities VRML97 Using XML <X3D> <head><meta content="ball.x3d" name="filename"/> </head> <Scene> <Shape> <Appearance> <Material/> </Appearance> <Sphere radius="1.0"/> </Shape> </Scene> </X3D>

  8. VRML/X3D and H-Anim • VRML97 • H-Anim 1.0 Specification • H-Anim 1.1 Specification • H-Anim 2001 Specification • X3D • H-Anim 2.0 Specification

  9. MPEG-4, AML, VHML and H-Anim • MPEG-4 and H-Anim • Facial Expression: Identical to FAPs • AML (Avatar Markup Language, Mira Lab, VR Lab) • Text To Speech, Facial and Body Animation • Encapsulation and Synchronization • VHML (Virtual Human Markup Language, au) • Mentor System • BAML Body Animation Markup Language

  10. H-Anim Specifications • The Nodes • Level of Articulation
