We introduce a new interactive 3D simulator of ocular motion and expressions suitable for (1) character animation applications to game design, film production, HCI (Human Computer Interface), conversational animated agents, and virtual reality; (2) medical applications (ophthalmic neurological and muscular pathologies research and education); and (3) real time simulation of unconscious cognitive and emotional responses (for use, e.g., in psychological research). Using stateoftheart computer animation technology we have modeled and rigged a physiologically accurate 3D model of the eyes, eyelids, and eyebrow regions and we have &39;optimized&39; it for use with an interactive and web deliverable platform. In addition, we have realized a prototype device for realtime control of eye motions and expressions, including unconsciously produced expressions, for application as in (1), (2), and (3) above. The 3D simulator of eye motion and ocular expression is, to our knowledge, the most advancedrealistic available so far for applications in character animation and medical pedagogy.
