Our approach to user interface animation involves simu- lating the interaction of a user with the interface by syn- thetically generating the input events that drive the session. The interaction is made explicit by displaying the behavior of input devices audio-visually. Such "ani- mation" is both educational and functional, and has the potential to become a powerful new medium in the graphical user interface domain. We describe the con- struction of a general purpose tool for animating user interfaces - the animation server. Clients drive the server with textual scripts that describe the interaction. These may contain constructs for obtaining application context information at runtime and synchronizing with other media servers. We present a few potential applica- tions for animation servers, including a groupware pack- age for loosely coupled collaboration. |
