Morgan Kaufmann Series in Interactive 3D Real-Time Collision Detection, (Paperback)

Written by an expert in the game industry, this book is a comprehensive guide to the components of efficient real-time collision detection systems. It provides the tools and know-how needed to implement industrial-strength collision detection for the highly detailed dynamic environments of applications such as 3D games, virtual reality applications, and physical simulators. Of the topics covered, a key focus is on spatial and object partitioning through a wide variety of grids, trees, and sorting methods. The author also presents a large collection of intersection and distance tests for both simple and complex geometric shapes.
