Interactive Animation Editing Based on Sketch Interaction

User-centric interactive system shows potential in allowing users facilely access to the experience of natural interaction appropriate to user's intention with a low cognitive load. A novel approach, central to the user's experience, is presented based on knowledge reuse, user interaction model and sketch-based interaction. A proposed sketch platform for animation editing provide the key to instantiating typical application within the reuse methods. The sketch-based interface explores a point in the tradeoff between expressiveness and naturalness to provide users a natural interactive environment. It helps to fill in the gaps of traditional WIMP (Window Icon Menu Pointing Device) pattern in the process animation drawings by sketching, exploring and modifying their ideas interactively with immediate and continuous visual feedback, and validate existing efforts and provide impetus for future work in the area of natural interaction research.
