[semantics-public] John’s New Focus: bvh in “MineCraft”

[John Carlson]

Joe,   I was hoping to obtain/create .bvh files for any motion needed.

I am trying to decide between

Choreography Pose Identication
Body Movement Recognition
Body Motion Recognition

(Possibly increasing numbers of data points).

Some kind of LOD is indicated for animation, even fractal.  Or multi
resolution animation, depending on frame rate???

Goal is to round trip from semantics to data points and back to semantics.
  In the Virginia Reel,  the semantics are added by the move caller.
