Exactly. The "user-interface" can be switched from FK to IK and back.

But the interpolation method itself can't switch smoothly AFAIK. Which
method does the interpolation use in your solution? In other words, do you
use the splines to interpolate rotation vectors (FK interpolation) or do you
use the splines to interpolate point vectors, like wrist-location etc. (IK
interpolation) ?
