	Anthony Guye-Vuillème's PhD Project
		The design of virtual humans which are at the same time self-sufficient individuals and group members, is not only more realistic but also has the advantage of serving as a more flexible control paradigm.
		For example, a stimulus can be sent to an agent in order to temporarily detach it from the group and make it perform a given action, or on the contrary it may be allowed to ask for the collaboration of the other group members in order to complete the task.
		Behavioral outcomes - Since the visual simulation of the group and group members behavior is the main target, a special attention should be given to nonverbal behavior, such as proxemic choices (distance and angle) and kinesic activities (gestures and postural shifts) during member's interactions.
