[MSc Level] We will collaborate with award-winning animation studio Cartoon Saloon to investigate perception of pose for stylized cartoon characters, such as those used in their films. Cartoon characters are often drawn to defy the laws of physics, and there is little known about perception of these characters – what makes a cartoon pose similar to another one? Does the viewer perceive the details that the artist has included? Perceptual experiments will be conducted for this project, so ethics approval needs to be sought, and eye-tracking will be used to assess the gaze patterns of participants while viewing the scenes. See recent work on gaze fusion. Student should be taking modules in AR/VR strand.
