N2 - In scientific visualization, volume rendering is commonly used to show three-dimensional, time-varying data sets. To understand the spatial structure of volume data sets and how they change over time, animation is often necessary. Most current visualization tools use conventional keyframe-based interfaces to create animations, which can be tedious and time-consuming. We present a new, semi-automatic approach to creating animations of volume data based on a user's interaction history as they navigate through a data set and adjust rendering parameters. Through a user study, we show that this new method requires significantly less time and perceived effort on the part of users compared to keyframe-based approaches, while still generating animations of comparable quality.
