GENERATION OF A STATIC POTENTIAL FIELD FOR CAMERA POSITIONING SUPPORT IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This paper introduces an innovative method of a potential field generation. A new construction of the potentials lets the camera be attracted by implicit goals and simultaneously prevents the observer from getting into the object. Proposed method solves the problem of collisions detection without additional implementation. Proposed potential field lets the user come up to a visually selected object quite smoothly and it reduces discrepancy between movement trail and the user’s intention
