Crowds against real pedestrians, six recorded scenes

Improved A later registered study met the bar: Crowds among shoppers, a day nobody had opened.

Living Worlds' crowd moved more like real pedestrians than both the social-force crowd common in robot training and people who ignore each other in 3 of 6 public ETH and UCY scenes, where 5 were needed. It won the three quieter scenes; in the dense ones, two at a university and one outside a shop, real people walk in groups and the crowd kept everyone apart. Registered before any scene was simulated; scored on walking speeds, distance to the nearest person, straightness of paths and how often people came within 0.3 metres.
