Abstract

We present a Virtual Reality application enabling interactive, physically correct simulation of tube-like flexible objects. Our objective was to describe flexible objects by a set of parameters (length, diameter and material constants) instead of rigid geometry (triangle meshes) and to give the user the possibility to add, delete and manipulate those flexible objects in a stereo projected environment in real-time.
