Abstract
A user interface element enables the user to select an appearance for a character that corresponds with an emotion and an emotional intensity. The user interface may more generally be utilized to select values for a first degree of freedom and a second degree of freedom. The user interface element may take the form of a symmetrical closed curve, such as a circle. The user interface element is logically partitioned into sub-regions. Each sub-region may additionally be partitioned into one or more sub-areas. Each sub-region is associated with a given value for a first degree of freedom, and each sub-area is associated with a value for the second degree of freedom. When the user interface element is utilized to select emotions and emotional intensity for a character, the user interface element may include a character preview area that displays a preview of a character's appearance given a current position of the position indicator within the user interface element.
