Abstract

In this paper we present an interactive dynamic simulator for virtual avatars. It allows creation and manipulation of objects in a collaborative way by virtual avatars or between virtual avatars and users. The users interact with the simulation environment using a haptic probe which provides force feedback. This dynamic simulator uses fast dynamics computation and constraint-based methods with friction. It is part of a general framework that is being devised for studies of collaborative scenarios with haptic feedback.
