This paper presents a low-cost flexible Performance Animation system for gesture generation and mapping, easy to use and general purpose, focusing on the most ancient and classical idea of animation: Puppetry. A system designed for generic puppetry, and not for a special purpose that can be easily adapted to different scenarios and budgets.

Abstract

This paper presents a low-cost flexible Performance Animation system for gesture generation and mapping, easy to use and general purpose, focusing on the most ancient and classical idea of animation: Puppetry. A system designed for generic puppetry, and not for a special purpose that can be easily adapted to different scenarios and budgets. For this reason we chose consumer and mainstream technologies, common graphic libraries, PC graphic cards and cheap motion-capture equipment allowing the user to insert movies and sounds integrated with a three-dimensional scene.
