Digital Media Designer: Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Artificial Intelligence and AAA Games
Audrey [winter] an Avatar
All videos shown are not composites and were captured from Pixel 2 XL while running my ARCore app.
Audrey Winter is the first generation of an augmented reality avatar developed in Unity for Google's AR Core mobile platform.
The goal is to develop a model for creating an avatar with awareness of its mixed reality environments. Audrey is a mechanical prototype that bridges the gulf between virtual environments and real world living spaces.
The key pillars for initial awareness are:
Non-Verbal Feedback
Spatial Awareness
Mobility and Action
I created the character in Adobe Fuse CC and Maya. Animations and rigging from Mixamo.
Audrey is driven by traditional A.I. that uses finite state machine patterns I scripted in C#. It is enhanced by additional scripting packages available at the Unity Asset Store (noted in text).
