Follower algorithm

The X3D Followers component supports specialized linear interpolation for various data types to achieve smooth behavior animation.

These examples illustrate how to use Chaser and Damper nodes, which are defined in the Followers component of the X3D specification. Transitions are computed at run time to produce events that smoothly change from an initial value to a goal value.
