ANEEME: Synthesizing and Sharing Animation Building Blocks for Rapid Creation of 3D Virtual Scenes
Booth no: vrshwcse_0054

Summary: ANEEME focuses on building technologies that rapidly synthesize animated visual scenes. This virtual reality experience immerses users to different styles and culture of houses around the world. There are two modes in this application: build mode and play mode. In build mode, users can integrate 3D models from the local computer or from ANEEME's online repository into the virtual environment. Using ANEEME's automatic skeletal rigging, users can easily incorporate and animate humanoid objects such as toys, figurines, and even their own avatar. These enable users to design, build and customize their dream house. During play mode, users can interact with the objects inside the environment. They can watch videos, listen to music, play with different instruments, and many more. Photo and video capture capabilities available in this mode also allow users to easily share their virtual environment through their social media accounts.
