SeroH n" !Mathematics and Computer Science Department, Public University of Navarra, Compus de Arrosadia s/n, 31006, Pamplona, Spain "Advanced Computer Graphics Group (GIGA), Computer Science Department, Technical School of Engineering, University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza, Spain Abstract Dealing with synthetic actors who move and behave realistically in virtual environments is a task which involves di!erent disciplines like Mechanics, Physics, Robotics, Arti"cial Intelligence, Arti"cial Life, Biology, Cognitive Sciences and so on. In this paper we use the nature of the information required for controlling actors' motion and behaviour to propose a new classi"cation of synthetic actors. A description of the di!erent motion and behaviour techniques is presented. A set of Internet addresses of the most relevant research groups, commercial companies and other related sites in this area is also given. ( 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Australian Indigenous Virtual Heritage
1 Australian Aboriginal Virtual Heritage A philosophical and technical foundation for using new media hardware and software technologies to preserve, protect and present Aboriginal cultural heritage and knowledge. Protecting, preserving and promoting Aboriginal arts, cultures, heritage and knowledge using 3D virtual technologies. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Research), Creative Industries Faculty, Queensland University of Technology, 2014 Image 1 - This virtual screen shot is from Vincent’s World and represents a re-create of a view and path (Songline) around the base of the Tombs in the Mt Moffatt Section of Carnarvon Gorge. This document meets the requirements of a presentation of thesis by published as specified in Section 123 of the Queensland University of Technology MOPP. 2 Keywords Australia, Aboriginal Australia, Aboriginal Virtual Heritage, Aboriginal Digital Heritage, Indigenous history, arts and culture, virtual technologies, virtual reality, digital knowledge management, virtual culture, digital culture, digital mapping, spatial knowledge management, spatial systems 3 Abstract Cultural knowledge is a central tenant of identity for Aboriginal people and it is vitally important that the preservation of heritage values happens. Digital Songlines is a project that seeks to achieve this and was initiated as a way to develop the tools for recording cultural heritage knowledge in a 3D virtual environment. Following the delivery of a number of pilots the plan is to develop the software as a tool and creative process that anyone can use to record tangible and intangible natural and cultural heritage knowledge and to record the special significance of this knowledge as determined by the traditional owners. -
