Introduction

Open Inventor supports collision detection. It is possible to manage objects and camera transformations to prevent objects from passing through (intersecting) one another. Walls are really walls: you can avoid walking through them. Solid objects are really solid: you can avoid having two of them occupy the same space at the same time.

Three tools are provided to support collision detection in Open Inventor:

• Viewer collision detection ( Viewer Collision Detection).
• Intersection detection action ( Intersection Detection Action).
• Dual scene collider ( Dual Scene Collider).
