Abstract
In order to deliver information effectively, virtual human demonstrators must be able to address complex spatial constraints and at the same time replicate motion coordination patterns observed in human-human interactions. We introduce in this paper a whole-body motion planning and synthesis framework that coordinates locomotion, body positioning, action execution and gaze behavior for generic demonstration tasks among obstacles.
