ABSTRACT:
A communications protocol is described that governs asynchronous exchange of data between a high level animation system and a low level animation system. The high level animation system has a variable, medium-frequency frame rate and is optimized for interactivity. The low level animation system has a constant, high frequency frame rate and is optimized for high refresh frame rate. The communications protocol includes messages that can be sent by the high-level animation system to the low-level animation system to designate an animation and how the animation is to change over a specified period of time. As a result, the low-level system can display the animation at the high refresh rate even if animation data is not received from the high-level system for every frame.
