ABSTRACT:
A method and system for depicting an object springing back along a travel path from an initial position to oscillate about and ultimately rest at a resting position. A travel path for the object towards the resting position is selected. A bounce position on the travel path is determined. After a time interval, the object is displayed in the bounce position. If the object is outside a predetermined distance of the resting position or has a velocity greater than a predetermined value, another travel path is selected and a subsequent bounce position on that travel path is determined. The object then is displayed in the subsequent bounce position. The travel path selection, bounce position determination and object display in the determined bounce position are repeated until a user interrupts or until the object appears to come to a rest in the resting position.
