Abstract :
Deformable objects give virtual reality a natural look for user interaction. The problem with these objects is that they require extensive physical simulation to look natural, requiring costly systems to run on. In this paper, we show that deformable objects can be represented by 3D animation, instead of simulation, on virtual reality applications. The cost of increased performance is greater memory requirements and some loss of deformation freedom
