Abstract

xDIVA, a 3D debugging visualization tool, provides a platform by which visualization metaphors are interactive, composable and decoupled from data, i.e. a complicated visualization can be composed and assembled from basic ones, each of which is independently replaceable. Based on the progress of xDIVA, this tool demo paper describes an automatic animation system to generate interpolated frames between key frames, where key frames are snapshots of the 3D scene at breakpoints. This approach does not require users to add or write any animation code and is more feasible for practical use.
