Synopsis

This book integrates all aspects of computer-generated facial animation including computer-based visualization techniques, three-dimensional character animation, anatomical, and psychological considerations and discusses them in the framework of promising applications in entertainment, human-computer interface, research, and education.

He joined the faculty of Texas A&M University in 1997 as professor in the College of Architecture and director of the Visualization Laboratory, and he currently coordinates the graduate program in Visualization Sciences. Dr. Parke is the author of a number of technical papers on facial animation and has lectured widely on the subject. He organized and chaired the SIGGRAPH Introduction to Computer Animation tutorials in 1983, 1984, and 1985.

From 1989 to 2000 Dr. Waters was a senior member of the research staff at the Cambridge Research Lab (CRL) formerly Digital Equipment and later Compaq where he worked on the commercialization of DECface and then FaceWorks. While at CRL, he published many pioneering papers on facial animation, particularly on muscle and skin dynamics for face animation, as well as real-time visual text-to-speech.
