Skeletal animation is a concept that has been used in the areas of motion pictures and computer games to create realistic motion for the animation of articulated characters. Recent work (Merrick & Dwyer 2004, Murray et al. 2004) has applied skeletal animation techniques from inverse kinematics and dynamics to the field of graph interaction. The motivation for this paper is to evaluate the dynamics-based technique in terms of its ability to simulate the skeletal metaphor, and to evaluate the skeletal metaphor in terms of its usefulness for graph interaction. We conduct a user-based evaluation for this purpose. The results of which confirm the usefulness of both the dynamics-based technique and the skeletal metaphor in aiding the users understanding of a graph.
