It is desirable that the used trajectory representation generalizes over different positions and orientations of the target object. To this end, this work investigates trajectory representations in two neurophysiologically inspired coordinate systems. Results show that natural looking movement can be preserved as real motion capture data is used as a basis for these calculations.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Animation I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]: Virtual Reality
