HandMove: a system for creating animated user interface components by direct manipulation
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe HandMove (Human ANimation by Direct Manipulation of Objects and Visual Elements), a highly interactive system for building animated scenes by direct manipulation. Its underlying model is based on concurrent evolution of graphical objects, position and attribute constraints, trajectory-based motion, event synchronization. Animation may be produced by time signals, user input or application values. Our objective is twofold: first, to present an animation model allowing intuitive and simple descriptions of complex animated scenes without textual programming; next, to integrate the resulting animation as dynamic elements in user interfaces built with a UIMS (User Interface Management System).

Visual Programming for Animation in User Interfaces
We present the visual programming techniques used by the HandMove system, which creates animated scenes based on a path-oriented model (described in [4]). Resulting animation modules are integrated in user interfaces created with a classical interface builder (XFaceMaker, produced by Non Standard Logics). We present the visual programming features of the HandMove system, which creates independe...

havior; its smoothness corresponds to our perception of motion and changes in the real world. In a UI, animation may illustrate the dynamic behavior of both interacting entities: the user and the underlying application. When changes are illustrated by a sudden switch from one visual configuration to another, the user has to deduce the causal link between the two states. Continuous animation pro...
متن کاملInteractive Construction and Animation of Layered Elastically Deformable Characters
An interactive system is described for creating and animating deformable 3D characters. By using a hybrid layered model of kinematic and physics-based components together with an immersive 3D direct manipulation interface, it is possible to quickly construct characters that deform naturally when animated and whose behavior can be controlled interactively using intuitive parameters. In this laye...
