Animation in User Interfaces
This project is examining how to integrate animation into user
interface toolkits and user interface development environments. This
work is joint with Professor Scott
Hudson and Professor John
Stasko. Our focus is on providing abstractions for specifying
real-time animation actions in user interfaces.
Pictured above is a flying GVU logo that takes exactly 3 seconds to
move across a window, provides motion blur, and performs
slow-in/slow-out animation along a curved path.
