Generating Virtual Avatars with Personalized Walking Gaits using commodity hardware


Abstract

We present a novel algorithm for automatically synthesizing personalized walking gaits for a human user from noisy motion caputre data. The overall approach is robust and can generate personalized gaits with little or no artistic intervention using commodity sensors.
