Computer Animation is a primary research focus of the GVU Center at Georgia Tech. We have many ongoing research projects and offer courses that cover the basics to advanced material in the different areas of Computer Animation. The main areas of focus include (but are not limited to)

	Simulation
	Motion Capture
	Video-based Animation
	AI for Animation
	Computer Games

	Irfan Essa [Video-based Animation, Motion Capture, Physics-based Simulation, & Games]
	Jessica Hodgins (now at CMU) [Human Motion, Simulation, Motion Capture,& Robotics]
	Michael Mateas [Games & AI, Planning, & Embodied Agents]
	Peter Mucha [Pyhsical Simulation]
	Jarek Rossignac [Geometric Modeling for Animation]
	Chris Shaw [Virtual Environments, Games]
	Greg Turk [Image Synthesis, Simulation]

	Computer Animation (1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, 2003, 2004)
	Computer Games Design and Software (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005)
	Digital Video Special Effects (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005).

	The animation efforts are housed in the Tech Square Research Building in the new Technology Square part of the Georgia Tech Campus
