Animacy: Physical Versus Social Perception
摘要
This chapter explores the intricate relationship between physical and social perception, proposing a unified framework that captures the essence of how humans interpret both domains. By delving into the foundational research on animacy and motion perception, we aim to understand the underlying mechanisms that enable us to extract rich meaning from simple visual cues. The chapter introduces a computational model that synthesizes these insights, offering a novel perspective on how physical laws and social intentions can be represented along a continuous spectrum.
