Abstract

This research is on an interactive animation prototype which can be used by many users from different computers, that means a network with one server and many clients. In our research, a complete motion is represented by simple motion characteristics. We establish databases which contain all kinds of human motion characteristics. Using flexible connection and appropriate time control, we are able to recompose a sequential serial motion data. Moreover, an interactive application system is needed among the uses with a server from animator. In this research, we also investigate three methods of“connect motion database”. We are planing to use the method of connecting motion database under networks with a client-server application system.
