Abstract
This paper proposes a new user interface paradigm for motion capture based animation systems, providing intuitive and efficient ways to visualize the main motion capture concepts and operations. A prototype system was built, implementing the proposed interface model and supported by a flexible architecture that is suitable to work with the motion capture methodology.
