RDC 2017 - Recent Developments and Challenges in Immersive Experiences and Digital Character Animation

Immersive experiences present a wide range of possibilities for expression and interactivity for both artists and developers. The goal of this workshop is to provide the CASA community with a broad view in the recent developments on the creation of rich immersive experiences.
In the first half, the focus will be placed on the challenges and developments to deliver the best possible experience for the user through haptic feedback or ensuring an optimal visualization of panoramic contents.
As a fundamental part of any immersive experience, Digital characters provide the means to interact and bring the virtual worlds to life. While Motion Capture based workflows ease the creation of the large amounts animation needed in such applications, there still exist an important need to edit, adapt and reuse the animations. In the second half, the focus is thus set in providing an overview in recent developments on the edition of the motion of digital avatars and characters.
