Description:


    A new interval-based collision detec- tion algorithm finds multiple contact points between surfaces. Described in the SIGGRAPH 93 Conference Proceedings, the algorithm applies to both volume and surface data. By spraying fruits from a cannon at a mystery dataset (“fruit tracing”), we show many colliding surfaces to demonstrate the technique’s practicality.
