Abstract

Current cloth simulation systems have become powerfulenough to be used interactively, and applications relevantto textile industries like virtually tailoring real garmentsseem to be possible in the near future. In this paper, weshow that interactive cloth simulation can be improved byVirtual Reality techniques. We present the Virtual Dress-maker,an application for interactive assembly and physicallybased interactive simulation of cloth. In particular,the system allows to select and drag parts of the clothesduring the simulation. The proposed application consistsof a VR-interface client that provides nearly live-size stereoprojection combined with 6DOF interaction and a serverfor physically based cloth simulation. In order to verify theusability of our approach, we elaborate on usability studies,which show that our application allows fast, easy, and preciseinteraction compared to interaction with a traditional3D-desktop application based on 2D input devices.
