augmented projection helps in managing 3-D shapes. Moreover, they reported the morphing activities to be natural.
The quantitative performance evaluation by using different
mesh sizes suggests investigating the possibility to include
more efficient algorithms for the detection of the contact
necessary to compute the force-feedback actions.
The promising results of the demonstrative example and
the user group feedback encourage the in-depth study of
such innovative methodology in order to increase the modeling capabilities and the interactive feedback. The proposed
methodology will now be used for addressing both biomechanical modeling problems and geometrical optimization
studies. The ability to move shape modification from coarse
mesh representations suitable for an interactive usage to high
fidelity meshes suitable for high fidelity CAE makes the
approach effective for practical engineering applications.
