Researchers at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM) were able to simulate human facial expressions in virtual characters and use them in order to create better environments within a virtual communication.

So far, the so-called virtual agents also mimic human behavior through programmed commands or scripts, but it results in a very "robotic" reaction, which is not interesting for the user, according to Marco Antonio Ramos Corchado, engineer at the Department of Computational Science at UAEM.

The main objective of the research is to generate expressions and emotions based on real people, taking as reference the 43 muscles involved in facial behavior depending on the psychological environment.

To achieve this in human models, tactile sensors were placed that release tiny electrical pulses to provoke different gestures with which a 3D camera captures the personality traits.
