Physically Based Real-time Animation of Glove Controlled Hand Puppets

The thesis is an approach to physically based real-time glove controlled pupped animation which is used in children television. The main idea is to provide a real-time animation framework which allows artists to animate virtual hand puppets the same way as real-world latex hand puppets are handled. The data glove enables artists to animate the virtual puppets exactly as if they had their hand inside a real-world latex puppet.
