| Project overview | |
As an extension of some of the research I have been developing to cater to the biomechanics and physics of human bodies and collisions in motion, I have been building rigid body physics solvers for built infrastructure. This can resolve 3D motion (so, 4D) and collisions for a variety of different physical parameters (see some concrete, foam blocks, and cardboard boxes in the movie below). This work is also incorporated into my existing modeling and visualization pipeline. |
