And... I'd like to point out that a "pointing device" is probably not the best way to do real-time animation control. 3D mocap using a 3D camera might be the most sexy, but there's always multiple keypresses (especially on a Mac, and dare I mention MIDI keyboards? I could see an infinite number of non-mocap interfaces possible for this technology, such a the animation equivalent of stroke-based font creation, where fundamental animation movements would mapped to individual keys on a computer or MIDI keyboard and evoked by sequences of simple or chorded keypresses. http://www.macintouch.com/gaiji.html No doubt other input technologies could be devised as well. Perhaps, rather than trying to figure out a one-size fits all strategy, or a handful, the best thing to do would be to devise a plug-in architecture for the overall system.
