Charter of H-Anim WG (2012-2-1) (in preparation)

1. Overview

The H-Anim WG is intended to standardize human character and animation data for exchanging human characters in heterogeneous computing environments.The working group will first revise the international standard, ISO/IEC 19774: 2006 Humanoid Animation, to define standards for the exchange of human character motion by defining a motion interface and a human modeling structure.

2. Goals

• Obtain sharable human character models and animations in heterogeneous computing environments
• Provide methods for generating sharable human characters and animations
• Research and develop standard technologies concerning human character modeling and animation

3. Teleconference schedule

• The first Wednesday of every month at 5:30pm, PST (Thursday at 10:30am, KST), after the Korea Chapter Meeting

4. Scope of new proposal items for submission to the ISO

• Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion from captured motion data
• Definition of a humanoid character model capable of generating motion using a general motion definition such as keyframe, interpolation, kinematics, and dynamics for human figures
• Definition of motion parameters for transferring or exchanging motion between different human character models
• Definition of a motion data interface for including motion data
• Definition of behavior modeling data
• Definition of motion viewer functionality
