Abstract

This paper presents an efficient modeling system of virtual pottery in which the user can deform a body of virtual clay with a haptic tool for E-learning. We propose a Circular Sector Element Method (CSEM) which represents the virtual pottery with a set of circular sector elements based on the cylindrical symmetry of pottery. Efficient algorithms for collision detection and response, interactions between adjacent elements, and GPU-based visual-haptic synchronization are designed and implemented for the CSEM. Empirical evaluation showed that the modeling system is computationally efficient with finer details and provides convincing model deformation and force feedback. The developed system, if combined with educational contents, is expected to be used as an effective E-learning platform for elementary school students.

본 논문에서는 사용자가 실제와 같은 촉감을 느끼면서 가상 도자기의 물레 성형을 체험할 수 있는 E-Learning 시스템을 제안한다. 원통형으로 대칭을 이루는 도자기 모양의 특징에 착안하여 부채꼴 모양을 가진 요소의 집합으로 3차원 도자기를 모델링하였다. 부채꼴 요소법에 최적화된 충돌 처리와 인접요소간 상호작용 알고리즘을 고안하였으며, GPU 기반의 빠른 햅틱 모델과 시각 모델의 동기화를 구현하였다. 성능 평가 결과 부채꼴 요소법은 기존의 변형체 렌더링 기법에 비해 훨씬 더 조밀한 도자기 모델의 현실적인 실시간 햅틱 렌더링이 가능한 것을 확인하였다. 우리가 구현한 시스템을 도자기와 관련된 교육적인 컨텐츠와 잘 결합한다면 초등학생들을 대상으로 한 E-Learning 시스템으로 성공적인 활용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
