Interaction Methods for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Models

摘要

Live motion capture data from body goniometers enables virtual mechanical interaction with digital models as a CAD plug-in. For complex models, the performance and quality of the simulation required for high fidelity interaction demands fast collision detection, surface computations, and efficient kinematic manipulation algorithms. We have developed specialized high performance numerical conditioning methods, algebraic surface distance computations, and a novel abstraction between the CAD plug-in interface (API) which allows any number of platforms to be used with our methodology.
