Virtual human simulation on memory acquisition and walking with the memory

Abstract

In virtual simulations, one of the most difficult tasks is how to model human behavior and how to validate the model by performing the simulations. Actually, many researchers have tried to model virtual humans for the behavior. Some researchers focused on how to decide the path for each person to move in a crowded situation. Others considered that human behavior cannot be generated with just one model, and the model should be categorized to some patterns such as individual, groups and crowd. Then, human actions are generated by applying each model according to the situation. In crowded situation, people might collide with each other if they move their own way without considering other person's path. Then, collision avoidance model was also investigated. In addition, there are some simulations considering real situations such as crowded train station or epidemics of infectious disease.
