Enhancing Augmented Reality Interactions: Dynamic Control of Virtual Characters via SLAM and Motion Matching
摘要
This study presents a unique and innovative approach, integrating augmented reality (AR) technology with motion matching and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technologies and applying these innovations to a robotic platform. The primary aim is to enable virtual characters to interact realistically in outdoor environments. AR technology adeptly merges virtual elements with the real world, significantly enriching user experiences. Its applications span beyond entertainment, extending into critical sectors such as industry, education, and healthcare, thus demonstrating its versatile utility. Traditionally, motion-matching technology has enhanced the fluidity and naturalness of movements in virtual characters within animations and gaming. Conversely, SLAM technology has been instrumental in robotic navigation, providing essential capabilities for autonomous localization and precise map creation. This research aims to combine these sophisticated technologies to dramatically improve the realism of virtual character interactions within actual environments, pushing the boundaries of AR technology's applications and fostering its development across a broader spectrum of fields.
