Modeling Dynamic Perceptual Attention in Complex Virtual Environments

An important characteristic of a virtual human is the ability to direct its perceptual attention to entities and areas in a virtual environment in a manner that appears believable and serves a functional purpose. In this paper, we describe a perceptual attention model that integrates perceptual attention that mediates top-down and bottom-up attention processes of virtual humans within complex virtual environments.
