Abstract :
This paper describes a preliminary architecture to support user interaction with 3D animations. These interactions are able affect the state of the concurrent discrete-event simulation driving the animation. We first explain how user interaction is conceptually split into user-action and user- intent, and then detail the message-based architecture adopted to support user interaction.
