Abstract :
Deformable object modeling is a technology that will enable a broad range of new applications. Unfortunately, current techniques are far from being able to offer interactive performance for realistic scenes. We examine the idea of using low-cost highly specialized hardware in order to accelerate deformable object modeling. Details are presented regarding two generations of such experimental systems.
