• [P1006] A Novel Curvilinear Collision Avoidance Scheme for Interacting Avatars in a Virtual Environment
  Author(s): Ziad Sakr
  
  

  Abstract
  As the number of Interactive Virtual Environments over the Internet for gaming or training purposes has increased dramatically in recent years, there has been the need for making these environments appear more natural and real. Avatar locomotion is an important contributor to improving the realism of interactive 3D virtual environments. This paper presents a novel collision detection and avoidance algorithm that prevents avatars from colliding with each other or obstacles in their bath while moving in a linear as well as in a curvilinear motion with changing velocities.
