Abstract

Computer visualization has advanced dramatically over the last few years, partially driven by the exploding video game market. 3D hardware acceleration has reached the point where even low-power handheld computers can render and animate complex 3D graphics efficiently. Unfortunately, end-user computing does not yet provide the necessary tools and conceptual frameworks to let end-user developers access these technologies and build their own interactive 2D and 3D applications such as rich visualizations, animations and simulations. In this paper, we demonstrate the Agent Warp Engine (AWE), a formula-based shape-warping framework for end-user visualization.
