We analyze the interactions of (2 + 1)-dimensional parametric solitons and demonstrate nonplanar beam switching in a bulk chi((2)) medium, which includes controllable soliton repulsion, spiraling, and fusion. analytical model predicting the results of the soliton scattering is derived and verified by direct numerics.
