Key research interests:

My field of interest on virtual reality is the animation of virtual human characters. Industry of 3D animation is growing and human-like characters are being exploited in many multimedia systems as communicative agents. So much has been the interest of creating this characters that some standardization has been implemented like H-Anim skeleton. But there is still a lot of work to do for providing a full scheme of virtual humans, since they aim to be as believable and realistic as possible. Creating virtual humans is very complex task, almost as complex as the human being itself.
