| Avatar-based communication provides an immersive and natural way of HCI (Human-Computer Interaction). Just as a real human, each avatar, the digital equivalent of a user, should have a distinct personality too. But most current systems couldn’t describe the avatars’ personalities systematically and effectively. Moreover, little attention has been devoted to the task of dressing avatars automatically. In this paper, we propose a new practical approach to resolve the problem above. A model-based methodology is presented for dressing personalized avatars automatically. We implement a prototype system where users can generate personalized avatars by altering the appearance (such as clothing, skin color, accessories, etc.) of the avatar models according to their own profession, nation, taste, age, and so on. |
