Abstract
We have developed interface animation techniquesfor distributed collaborative 3D virtual environments.Our methods communicate information about group interactionsto the various individual users in the system;this information is traditionally absent (i.e., notneeded) from single user systems and is difficult to conveywith static interfaces.Interface animation is primarily accomplished by dynamicallywarping the shape of the objects in the virtualspace. We describe our warping methods...Keywords
