Collision Detection: A Fundamental Technology for Virtual Prototyping

In the product development process of manufacturing industries, prototyping is an essential step. Prototypes represent important features of a product that are to be investigated, evaluated, and improved. They are used to analyse design alternatives, to plan assembly lines, to support managment decisions, or to market studies by showing a new model to potential customers. The vision of virtual prototyping is to utilize virtual reality techniques for design evaluations and presentations based on a digital model instead of physical prototypes. One of the most challenging classes of virtual prototyping in manufacturing industries are functional simulations virtual assembly simulations, and ergonomic studies. These are VR applications that usually comprise a lot of interaction among objects and interaction between the user and virtual objects. In order to make the virtual objects behave exactly like real objects, fast and exact collision detection of polygonal objects undergoing rigid motions or deformations is an enabling technology in many virtual prototyping applications (and many other applications of computer graphics). It is a fundamental problem of the dynamic simulation of rigid bodies, simulation of natural interaction with objects, and haptic rendering. AbsTRACT
