A blobby is an articulated puppet, named in honor of Jim Blinn's Blobby Man, and this real-time interactive computer animation (RTICA) simulates a teacher blobby to demonstrate an Application Programming Interface (API) for teaching human body movements to a machine. The RTICA provides features to animate the puppet and inspect its movement.
