RhyCAP -
Interactive Chinese Lion Dance is a procedural animation system
that that allows a designer to interactively direct animated
characters by adjusting rhythmic parameters such as tempo, timing,
and exaggeration to orchestrate collision-free motions for the
performance.

The
virtual rap dancer moves real-time in an own style, according to a
music audio and a video stream of a human dancer. The movements of
the virtual dances are selected from a lexicon of moves and some
style parameters which can be adjusted interactively.

Hsu, Tsai-Yen Li
National
Chengchi University, Taiwan
http://imlab.cs.nccu.edu.tw/~ssw/proj/shadowplay/
This
animation system utilizes motion planning techniques developed in
robotics to generate Chinese shadow play animation automatically.
The system computes primary body motions according to user’s
high-level inputs as well as secondary limb motions.

Automatic
Lip Sync for Animated Lifelike Agent Creation
Goranka
Zoric, Igor S. Pandzic
Faculty
of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb,
Croatia
http://www.tel.fer.hr/gzoric
Real
time lip synchronization is achieved by using a genetic algorithm
for automatic configuration of a neural network, which improves
speed and quality of generation of visemes to be used directly for
the animation of the face.
