Understanding Intention from Minimal Displays of Human Activity at Different Viewpoints

Phil McAleer & Frank E. Pollick

According to work carried out by Blythe, Todd & Miller (1999) there are 6 basic categories of intentional motion that are the basis of human interaction and animacy displays. These are, in there simplest form: Fighting, Guarding, Chasing, Following, Courting and Playing.
Our current research is aimed at trying to create animacy displays based on these six categories and testing to see if observers can still distinguish one category from another. Below is an example of how each category in there experimental form.
