Real-Time Motion Simulation of Artificial Fish for Virtual Marine World

In interactive 3D cyber space systems including computer games and virtual reality applications, we have increased need for real-time interactive control of articulated body motions for more realistic expression of characters. Animation methods that based on articulated body motions are used for produce real-time control of artificial life´s motion. But these methods are not adequate to complex systems, like virtual marine world, that lead to many interactive actions. In this paper, we present the real-time animation method that can be applied to control of artificial fish for constructing the virtual marine world.
