An Interaction Process Model for Virtual Objects Based on Interaction Structures

Abstract:

The virtual objects interactions depend on a huge number of human-computer definitions in virtual environment. A natural observation is that associated geometric structures between virtual objects can use to enhance autonomous interaction abilities, which will reduce the time-consuming manual operations. Based on this observation, the paper firstly studied the nature of relationship between interaction structures and interaction behaviors, and proposed a concept Interaction Feature Pair (IFP) to represent the interaction structures. And then an interaction process model for virtual objects based on IFP was proposed, which gives a feasible method for virtual objects to interact autonomously. Finally, an assembly simulation system is developed using this model and an example is given to prove the validity of the model.
