Geometry and Physics VAG

Purpose

The Geometry and Physics Viewpoint Advacy Group exists to provide input for archtectural design that is focused on the (virtual) physical modeling of objects.

See the Architecture Working Group and the [Viewpoint Advacy Groups] for more information.

List of concerns addressed by this viewpoint

Areas of concern addressed by the viewpoint include:

• Describing the physical shape of the object.
• Describing the material properties of the object.
• Efficient comunication of Geometric and physical properties.
• Use of open standards that allow for predictable sharing of data with various systems and tools
  • Creation of data using 3D modeling tools
  • Reading of data by other software (other VW's, design and modeling tools, physics engines).

Areas not addressed by this viewpoint

• Viewer display is not addressed by the viewpoint. This is expected to be a fairly complex topic and probably requires its own VAG.

Organziation

Joining

Contact anyone with root on openmv.org for an account if you are in the AW Groupies group in-world.

In world meetings

We meet once a week in-world and more if people are available.

Also members are active on the wiki and in the SLDEV mailing list.

Meetings are scheduled via the "SL AW Groupies" google calendar"

Meeting Agendas

Each meeting should have an agenda --- which will be distributed via

• google calendar entry
