Abstract

With the advanced development of the information technologies, more and more virtual environment applications and systems are based on network. Avatars are human being’s representatives in virtual world to demonstrate human being behaviors in the real world. It is necessary to have a coding standard for the avatar’s behaviors in order to interact more efficient and more understandable. In this paper, we propose an adaptable behavior coding schema for avatars’ interaction in the distributed virtual environment. The Huffman coding technique is adapted to minimize the average length of behavior codes based on a survey and its analysis. Meanwhile, a transmission coding schema is proposed. Demonstrations are built to approve our schema.
