Collision Detection

• Simple approaches

  • Early VR Systems: No detection at all
  • Bounding Shapes: Wrap objects in an invisible shape and detect if anything is inside that shape
  • Object to Object Detection: Each object tests every other object in the system

• Problems

  • Bounding shapes need to wrap object as closely as possible. Difficult with large or irregular objects
  • Object to Object detection slows down as objects increase
