Welcome

Interactive virtual environments play an important role in computational medicine, robotics, and entertainment technologies. Due to their inherent requirements, such as physically-plausible behavior of all simulated structures, robustness of the simulation, convincing rendering, and interactive response, these environments pose great challenges for the underlying animation techniques and visualization methods.
