The green figures are example motions and the yellows are interpolations and extrapolations. While only a finite number are shown, there is a continuous range of synthesized motions. This figure shows a sampling of the reach along the x and y axes. It is also controllable along the z axis, though not shown here. Click on the individual images to see an animation of the reaching parameterization.
Green figures are example motions.
Yellows are interpolations and extrapolations. This figure shows a parameterized jog from overhead. The green are example motions and the yellows extrapolations and interpolations. Although complex forms and motions can be constructed either by hand or with motion or geometry capture technologies, once they are created, they are difficult to modify, particularly at runtime. Interpolation provides a way to leverage artist-generated source material.
