Abstract :
Physically-based modelling is a powerful technique for specifying the laws and characteristics of virtual environments (VEs) and the objects they contain. In this paper, we describe Iota, a component framework for creating and interacting with multi-body physically-based models in VEs. In conclusion, we present two case studies implemented within the framework.
