A Proposal of a Haptic System for Real-Time Interaction with Clay-Like Objects

Abstract:

People often interact with deformable objects when they are kneading clay or making traditional desserts, either directly with their hands and fingers or through tools. Haptic interactions with virtual clay-like objects would significantly make the simulations more interesting and more real. However, to achieve a stable and real-time simulation of a clay-like particle system with high viscosity is challenging. In this research, we propose a novel method that allows real-time haptic interaction with clay-like objects. The particle system is based on a SPH(Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics) model, and the procedure of the conventional SPH method for fluid simulation is improved for simulating a particle system especially of high viscosity. The haptic rendering is done by a string-based haptic interface SPIDAR-G. We evaluate the performance and the stability of the proposed method in the end.
