Abstract

See full text

A graphical figure is defined. A library of simple tasks is created using trial stimulus/response combinations. A hill climbing algorithm is employed to find a stimulus/response combination that accomplishes an optimum result for each task. An animation editor facilitates the creation of composite animated sequences by causing the retrieving and displaying of a first simple task, controlling the length of time the first simple task is displayed and by causing the retrieving and displaying of additional simple tasks and controlling the length of time the additional simple tasks are displayed.
