• Abstract: In this work, we present Digital Life Project, a framework utilizing language as the universal medium to build autonomous 3D characters, who are capable of engaging in social interactions and expressing with articulated body motions, thereby simulating life in a digital environment. Our framework comprises two primary components: 1) SocioMind: a meticulously crafted digital brain that models personalities with systematic few-shot exemplars, incorporates a reflection process based on psychology principles, and emulates autonomy by initiating dialogue topics; 2) MoMat-MoGen: a text-driven motion synthesis paradigm for controlling the character's digital body. It integrates motion matching, a proven industry technique to ensure motion quality, with cutting-edge advancements in motion generation for diversity. Extensive experiments demonstrate that each module achieves state-of-the-art performance in its respective domain. Collectively, they enable virtual characters to initiate and sustain dialogues autonomously, while evolving their socio-psychological states. Concurrently, these characters can perform contextually relevant bodily movements. Additionally, a motion captioning module further allows the virtual character to recognize and appropriately respond to human players' actions. Homepage: https://digital-life-project.com/

  We present ReMoS, a denoising diffusion based model that synthesizes full body motion of a person in two person interaction scenario. We demonstrate ReMoS across challenging two person scenarios such as pair dancing, Ninjutsu, kickboxing, and acrobatics. We also contribute the ReMoCap dataset for two person interactions containing full body and finger motions.

  Hands are dexterous and highly versatile manipulators that are central to how humans interact with objects and their environment. modeling realistic hand-object interactions is critical for applications in computer graphics, computer vision, and mixed reality. GRIP is a learning-based method that takes as input the 3D motion of the body and the object, and synthesizes realistic motion for both hands before, during, and after object interaction.

  We present the first framework to synthesize the full-body motion of virtual human characters with 3D objects placed within their reach. Our system takes as input textual instructions specifying the objects and the associated intentions of the virtual characters. We show that our synthesized full-body motions appear more realistic to the participants in more than 80% of scenarios.

  We present Dynamic and Autonomous Simulated Human (DASH), an embodied virtual human that, given natural language commands, performs grasp-and-stack tasks in a physically-simulated cluttered environment. By factoring the DASH system into a vision module, a language module, and manipulation modules of two skill categories, we can mix and match analytical and machine learning techniques for different modules so that DASH is able to not only perform randomly arranged tasks with a high success rate, but also do so under anthropomorphic constraints.
