Abstract
We present a novel input device and interface for interactively controlling the animation of graphical human character from a desktop environment. The trackers are embedded in a new physical design, which is both simple yet also provides significant benefits, and establishes a tangible interface with coordinate frames inherent to the character. A layered kinematic motion recording strategy accesses subsets of the total degrees of freedom of the character. We present the experiences of three novice users with the system, and that of a long-term user who has prior experience with other complex continuous interfaces.
