Summary:
K-sketch is a general purpose 2D animation sketching system. It is able to provide quick and powerful animations meant to be used by novices. Then, a definition of an optimization problem was done to maximize the number of features supported. At the same time, it minimized the number of steps needed to complete each animation feature, thus making it optimized. Evaluations comparing with simple tools such as Powerpoint and Flash were done. This implies the ease of use of the system.
Discussion:
The ease of use makes K-sketch a very optimal choice of system to use. The fact that ease of use of User interface could be compared with Powerpoint really amazed me. Also, considering animation as a step wise procedure, it shows the main purpose of the system is Novice users and their ease of use.
