Abstract
A method includes displaying, via a display device, a virtual agent moving according to a motion type. The virtual agent is defined by a plurality of virtual joints and motions of the virtual agent are controllable by providing a corresponding plurality of torques to the plurality of virtual joints. The method includes, while the virtual agent is moving according to the motion type, registering an interaction event with the virtual agent. The interaction event initiates a change to the motion type. The method includes, in response to registering the interaction event, generating, using a motion controller, a plurality of torque values for the virtual agent based on a function of the motion type and the interaction event, and generating an animation for the virtual agent by providing the plurality of torque values to the plurality of virtual joints of the virtual agent.
