The authors present a method that preserves the recognizability of key object interactions in a vector animation. The method allows an artist to author an animation once, and then output it to any display device. The authors specifically target mobile devices with small screen sizes. In order to adapt an animation, the author specifies an importance value for objects in the animation. The algorithm then identifies and categorizes the vector graphics objects that comprise the animation, leveraging the implicit relationship between eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Based on importance, the animation can then be automatically retargeted for any display using artistically motivated resizing and grouping algorithms that budget size and spatial detail for each object.
