商品描述
This book tells the story of building digital virtual human models in the context of the background, choices, and occurrences that shaped the author's own involvement and personal evolution. Such digital models found motivating applications in engineering, anthropology, medical, and group simulation problems, and numerous connections to other disciplines informed and enriched their design, development, and deployment. This personal perspective on developments in the field is enhanced by extensive citations that provide pointers into relevant literature, recognize the contributions of co-authors and collaborators, and give external evidence for claims. Both academic and corporate interest in virtual beings has exploded in recent years, and while this book does not survey the current state of the art it is an essential window into how the field arrived where it is today. The technical discussions throughout the book are deliberately accessible with extensive references to the literature for further reading. This book will be of interest to readers who want to understand the history of virtual human beings, how they evolved, and especially how they must address numerous human characteristics to achieve any sense of "human-ness."
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書講述了在背景、選擇和事件的脈絡下，建立數位虛擬人模型的故事，這些因素塑造了作者自身的參與和個人演變。這些數位模型在工程、人類學、醫學和群體模擬問題中找到了激勵性的應用，並且與其他學科的眾多聯繫豐富了它們的設計、開發和部署。這種對該領域發展的個人觀點通過廣泛的引用得到了增強，這些引用提供了相關文獻的指引，認可了共同作者和合作者的貢獻，並為主張提供了外部證據。近年來，學術界和企業對虛擬存在的興趣激增，儘管這本書並未調查當前的技術現狀，但它是了解該領域如何發展到今天的重要窗口。書中各處的技術討論故意設計得易於理解，並提供了廣泛的文獻參考以供進一步閱讀。這本書將吸引那些希望了解虛擬人類歷史、它們如何演變，尤其是如何解決眾多人類特徵以實現任何“人性”的讀者。
