Description: we propose an on-line reactive animation method generalizing a biped locomotion pattern combining standing, walking, and running. The resulting engine is able to animate human-like characters of any size and proportions.

For that purpose, several motion capture data from several persons have been organized into a hierarchical PCA (Principal Component Analysis) structure to perform not only interpolation, but also extrapolation.
