Sensor-based synthetic actors in a tennis game simulation

We propose a model of a tennis game simulation with synthetic actors as players and a referee. The behavior of these actors is based on their synthetic vision and audition. Physical modeling of the ball dynamics and sound rendering enhance the realism. An interactive user can also play against a synthetic actor by using a Space Ball
