“…In order to make dynamic and animated media accessible, HCI researchers have explored sketch-based and direct manipulation interfaces for animation [23,27,28,31], interface prototyping [36,38], explanatory illustrations [30,52], datastorytelling [37], and designing live-performance triggers [47]. Performance based systems have also been explored to map captured human motion into digital characters [24] and arbitrary digital objects (with different topology) [20].…”

Figure 1: Our system is a presentation tool that lets the performer interactively control the graphical elements using a wide range of hand gestures and body postures for a real-time storytelling experience. (a) An umbrella is attached to the presenter's hand, (b) controlling a custom-made slider to change the humidity chart, (c) directly manipulating a virtual sketch (cross arrow) to change the timeline of a data chart, and (d) pointing and flicking gestures (blue arrows) to move the temperature arrow, which manipulates the sun's opacity.

“…The recent development of face tracking techniques brings new design forms of digital live animation tools, e.g., the software Adobe Character Animator. In [22], researchers propose a recommendation triggering strategy using touch screens, which significantly decreases the perceptional workload during live animation. In [21], by the usage of physical simulation, researchers add secondary motion to a primary motion to make more lively visual effects.…”

“…Generally, facial expressions of digital puppets are the most salient channel for expressing emotions [19]. Existing approaches, such as expression transfer [6] and swapping artworks [22], are still difficult or not easy for users to communicate full range emotional states reliably. For expression transfer, namely, capturing users' facial expressions and deforming the digital puppet accordingly, it is difficult for users to express different deliberate emotions.…”

Live animation of 2D characters has recently become a popular way for storytelling, and has potential application scenarios like tele-present agents or robots. As an extension of human-human communication, there is a need for augmenting the emotional communication experience of live animation. In this paper, we explore the emotional expressiveness issue of 2D live animation. In particular, we propose a descriptive emotion command model to bind a triggering action, the semantic meaning, psychology measurements, and behaviors of an emotional expression. Based on the model, we designed and implemented a proof-of-concept 2D live animation system, where a novel visual programming tool for editing the behaviors of 2D digital characters, and an emotion command recommendation algorithm are proposed. Through a user evaluation, we showcase the usability of our system and its potential for boosting creativity and enhancing the emotional communication experience.
