"When a scrambled stimulus is presented upside-down, information about the direction of movement is no longer available to the human visual system." - This statement is untrue as I was repeatedly able to retrieve the direction of movement of such a presented stimulus in the demonstration; and my visual system is human. I propose that I would be able to do the same with any scrambled and inverted stimulus whose non-inverted counterpart's direction of movement were already demonstrated to have been generally easilly retrievable (that is, whether I myself had already observed and retrieved the direction of movement of that non-inverted scrambled counterpart or not).

Just looking at the web site as recommended by my professor. It was really neat to play with the "walker".

Fascinating work -- I'm interested both as a somatic teacher and as a performer.

You might find studying Alexander Technique teachers/students a useful adjunct to your work. In the process of improving how people use themselves in activity, students' gait tends to lighten and become more efficient. I'd love to know what happens to the gender "markers" then... If you check www.ati-net.com, you can find an AT teacher near you who might be interested in working with you.

Also, because so much of "use" is influenced by culture (esp. re: gender styles) and age, studying people of differents age groups and cultural backgrounds might also be revealing.

Thanks for sharing your work!

I think that the things you have done are very interesting. It’s hardly to believe that I can realize what the animation is with just a few points. However, I am curious to know how you chose the white points when you did the experiments, as well as how you chose the viewpoint of your camera when you recorded the video. Is there any reason to setup these experimental environments? Thanks. :)

I would have to say that your dot demo is one of the most amazing things that I've seen. The fact that its only dots moving and it shows emotion is facinating. I also used the feature in which you make your own characteristic. I was AMAZED on how much it worked. This is definately a site to p****** on to coworkers and friends.

really enjoyed just browsing the website, it is really interesting! Did the sexID thing, don't think I did too well, I found it nion impossible to identify the people in profile.

Fascinating art/science research!

This is very useful reference for animators. I wish there was someway to out put the walk cycles generated in the demos as image sequences. Such image sequences could form the bases for the walk cycles of animated characters. Alternately it would be useful to be able to output these cycles in a 3D file format, such as .FBX. Another thought is that it would be a neat plugin for 3D modeling application(s).

Hello, some of you who run the SexID experiment requested to have an overall score at the end of the experiment. This has been implemented, so check it out ;-)
Go to: www.biomotionlab.ca --> Demos ---> sexId
Enjoy!
