A Simulation-based VR System for Interactive Hairstyling
K. Ward, Nico Galoppo, M.C. Lin · 2006
We have developed a physically-based VR system that enables users to interactively style dynamic virtual hair by using multiresolution simulation techniques and graphics hardware rendering acceleration for simulating and rendering hair in real time. With a 3D haptic interface, users can directly manipulate and position hair strands, as well as employ real-world styling applications (cutting, blow-drying, etc.) to create hairstyles more intuitively than previous techniques.
