A computer program, which enables researchers to synthesize walking behaviors. The walk calculations are implemented in the C++ class Walker. This C++ class can calculate a treedimensional human walk movement in realtime. The walk behavior can be controlled to the smallest detail. The Walker class is also able of calculating curved walks. The class can be linked to any C++ program. The Walk Synthesizer program renders the walkers to the screen (tree different visualizations) and adds walking sounds (through prerecorded samples of human walkers). A set of walking stimuli can be created and played. During the experiment the subjects are asked to determine the sex of the walker. The response of the subjects can be recorded in a text file.
