Abstract:
This thesis describes a set of techniques and methods to create an autonomously interactive character as a virtual opponent in a Virtual Reality (VR) application for anticipation training in sports karate. Convincing karate movements are created by blending adequate motion capture data in real-time with motion blending. Attack techniques with a precise attacking position are achieved by using hybrid Inverse Kinematics. Stepping movements are created with a motion graph approach, enabling the virtual character to adapt the position relative to the user’s position. An offline preprocessing method is proposed to cope with a large amount of motion capture data. The realized character can autonomously and interactively respond to the trainee’s movement and perform a suitable hand attack. A user study among karate athletes shows a general acceptance of the implemented system as a useful tool for anticipation training.
