(Our meeting today is hosted by Myeong Won Lee and the Web3D Korea Chapter. Thank you - ham sa ham ni dah!)

Overview. Lots of activity continues to gradually proceed in H-Anim. These lists of suggested steps can help us stay organized and productive.

Static position/posture poses
Corresponding Displacer nodes
Composition of partial behaviors
- Additive (e.g. waving + sitting down)
- Superposition(e.g. waving + walking)
Behavior libraries
- Inline and IMPORT/EXPORT conventions
- LOA by LOA

Examples are always a powerful way to show whether the specification is working or needs improvement.

There are a lot of things we will build - humans are complex! An independent archive may be needed, separate from the X3D Basic Examples Archive.

Modified over years by Joe Williams and Damon Hernandez, origin uncertain
Modified DEC 2013 by Joe Williams and Don Brutzman, checked into Medical examples at
Individual geometry files for each segment in human body, independently loadable
Define how to change size to match a given body

LOA 5 for all remaining animatable joints in human body? Discussion please
Names for additional Joints, Segments, Sites
Problem: how to we handle wrist joints as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure?
- Physiology is different, apparently a mesh
- Nevertheless each bone can only be in one position/orientation at a time
- Thus a scene graph can show correct results, even if forces are complex
We care most about the position/orientation of each bone
- Typically we think of angle relationships between multiple bones
- End result is what matters: position/orientation of each bone
- Perhaps we should use the name "pseudo Joint" when this is a mismatch (such as carpal bones in wrist)

New, under development
XSLT stylesheet can follow "decorator pattern" to modify scene graphs
- Converts .x3d to a modified .x3d
Current support for canonical form, omitting default values, url corrections, minor fixups
TODO add support for H-Anim
- remove geometry from Joints/Segments/Sites
- Add/replace geometry to Joints/Segments/Sites
