PROJECT_STATUS01_NAME1=David Parks
PROJECT_STATUS02_NAME2=
PROJECT_STATUS03_NAME3=
PROJECT_STATUS04_TITLE=Dynamic Hierarchical Action Selection for an Articulated Figure
PROJECT_STATUS05_DESCR=
PROJECT_STATUS06_WDONE=The interface for converting a simple object (such as one
grabbed from the WEB) to an articulated object (by
specifying limbs and a joint hierarchy) is nearly complete.
Coding has begun on the general inverse-kinematics
functionality that will run beneath the action-development
interface.  
PROJECT_STATUS07_INPUT=Mouse
PROJECT_STATUS08_OUTPT=Monitor
PROJECT_STATUS09_SYSTM=Other
PROJECT_STATUS10_DEADL=The interface for describing the articulatable object will
be in place.  The kinematics engine should be complete,
as should the interface for designing actions for the
character.  Although the actual internals for the action
selection network may be in place, it is doubtful that
any useful action selection will be complete as internal
senses require
a large amount of preparation (eg : giving sight to the
figure).
PROJECT_STATUS11_URL..=http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~davidp/cs294-writeup.html
PROJECT_STATUS12_QUEST=The system is to run in OpenGL.  It is more a virtual-world
designers toolkit than an actual virtual world.
