DI-Guy Video of Human Simulation Software in a Scenario

Overview

We know Boston Dynamics for the incredible robots they developed like the RHex a land and submersible all terrain robot and the cool wall climbing robot called RISE, but they have developed a new software application that gives a new light onto the advancements in Human Simulation Software. What is neat about the software is the ease of painting crowds into a scenario, and immediately they have the intelligence to recognize objects, moving vehicles, and respond to other actions like a bomb explosion where they flee in the opposite direction.

Technology behind DI Guy

Di-Guy actual movements are lifelike, the reason for that is using a process called Live Motion capture where humans wear suits with sensors, then computers track those movements recording all information and applying it to animation. Using the SDK (Software Development Toolkit) you can customize characters and comes with, policemen, soldiers, insurgents that can carry weapons and wear different uniforms. Animals are included as well to complete scenarios. DI-Guy also uses motion animation that keeps in sync with WAV files to portray talking by moving the mouth and lips.

Impressions of DI-Guy Human Simulation Software

The fact that you can easily paint crowds with artificial intelligence into scenarios is a plus, but what we like is being able to customize specific movements like arms and joints to make certain poses using the DI-Guy Motion Editor and a feature called Kinematic Control. i would like to see more of this kind of Artificial Intelligence in Sim based games and others as well like Syphon Filter and other first person shooters.
