Abstract With the advancement of AI‐generated human motion, it is increasing importance to think about how we distinguish real motion from machine‐generated movements. In this study, recruited professional performers use whole body make a short movement inform potential observers that they are humans (instead machines). Their movements were captured with capture system (Vicon) and later reduced dynamic point‐like displays (biological motion). They interviewed after recording provide their acting strategies. Naive who did not participate in data collection watch these videos judge whether biological motions looked human‐like or (YES/NO), as well report judging criteria. The major factors extracted reports include kinematics, context, mechanics, principles physical laws. We discuss impact criteria may possibly help improve future generation motions.
