Fast and Controllable Simulation of the Shattering of Brittle Objects
We present a method for the rapid and controllable simulation of the shattering of brittle objects under impact. An object to be broken is represented as a set of point masses con...

Using a 3D Puzzle as a Metaphor for Learning Spatial Relations
We introduce a new metaphor for learning spatial relations--the 3D puzzle. With this metaphor users learn spatial relations by assembling a geometric model themselves. For this pu...
