“Semantic parser converting freeform clinical and exercise text instructions into synchronized 3D avatar animations for physical therapy.”
An end-to-end framework combining natural language processing, semantic action ontology mapping, and procedural 3D character animation. The system accepts natural language descriptions of physiotherapy and athletic routines, producing biomechanically accurate avatar animations.
Extracts joint targets, repetition counts, and tempo constraints from unstructured physiotherapy prescription notes.
Smooths trajectory keyframes using inverse kinematics to generate biologically plausible human exercise motions.
Compiles prescribed rehabilitation exercises into fully animated 3D demonstrations for home patient guidance.
Allows patients to orbit 360 degrees around the virtual coach to inspect correct joint angles and posture alignment.
