The content presented here is a powerpoint-like presentation written in X3D. It was held at the Web3D Symposium 2006, in Columbia/Maryland. The whole presentation is implemented as X3D content, with animated diagrams and embedded life sample 3D scenes interactively illustrating the concepts.

The presentation has been included in the Web3D Content CD (click "Hersto Followers").

Underlying Paper: 

 Linear Filters - Animating Objects in a Flexible and Pleasing Way  by Herbert Stocker.

Proposed Specification Text: 

 Followers Component

The presentation explains the motivation and concept behind the so-called Follower nodes, which resemble a new style of animation design. These concepts were used to implement the presentation itself.
