Abstract
This paper presents some aspects to provide interaction with virtual human crowds. We describe some interaction paradigms present in ViCrowd, a system to model and generate virtual crowds with various degrees of autonomy. In addition, a Client/Server architecture is discussed in order to provide interface to guide and communicate with virtual crowds.
