A Dynamics Model for Virtual Stone Skipping with Wii Remote

Stone skipping is an example of rigid-fluid coupling, which typically need much computation. In this paper, we present a real-time method for visually plausible stone skipping simulation. Based on the Newtonian physics, an intuitive dynamics model is presented to simulate the linear and rotational motions of the stone. The real-world stone is substituted by the Wii Remote connected to the host PC. Our implementation shows the real-time simulation of the bouncing process of the virtual stone.
