Abstract
A method for a computer system includes displaying a first plurality of images to a user on a display at a uniform rate wherein the images of the first plurality of images are determined in response to a first plurality of marks associated with a virtual camera location curve within a three-dimensional scene, receiving a plurality of user inputs from a user input device, while the user views the first plurality of images at the uniform rate, determining a second plurality of marks in response to the first plurality of marks associated with the curve and the plurality of user inputs, determining a second plurality of images in response to the second plurality of marks associated with the curve, storing the second plurality of marks associated with the curve in a memory, and displaying the second plurality of images to the user on the display at the uniform rate.
