  text: This article introduces and discusses different innovative means for visual
    specification and animation of complex concurrent systems. It introduces the completely
    visual programming language Pictorial Janus (PJ) and its application in the customer-oriented
    design process. PJ implements a completely visual programming language with inherent
    animation facilities. The article outlines the transformation of purely visual
    PJ programs into textual imperative programming languages. The second part of
    the article investigates animated 3D-presentations and introduces a novel approach
    to an animated 3D programming language for interactive customer-oriented illustrations.
