Construction of virtual human model by using ODE — Study on sitting motion

We developed the virtual human model by using freeware. This model is easy to introduce into the initial stage of research, because it uses Open Dynamics Engine (ODE), which is an open-source software, and is easy to be modified as to various demands. In this paper, first, we explain the virtual human model using ODE. Next, we indicate the problem which comes from ODE, and propose the solution. Then, we analyze the sitting motion.
