Claim 13:
14. A system for training a decoder to predict a next pose of a character within a three-dimensional virtual gaming environment, wherein the system includes:
one memory; and
one or more processors configured to:
input, to an encoder, a current pose and a next pose from motion capture data;
receive, from the encoder, a gaussian distribution representing likely next poses from the current pose;
input, to a decoder, the gaussian distribution and the next pose;
receive, from the decoder, a predicted next pose, wherein during use of the decoder, input motion capture data used to train the decoder is not stored in memory;
compare the next pose with the predicted next pose to generate a loss function; and
apply a reward function based on the comparison of the actual next pose with the predicted next pose to perform reinforcement learning to train the decoder to predict next poses of characters in a virtual gaming environment based on a current pose and an environmental characteristic.
