Abstract:
Given the expanding use of 3D Objects in a variety of fields such as animation, gaming, virtual worlds, commerce, augmented reality and 3D printing, we present a novel system for object browsing and searching. Specifically, the system packs objects into an interactive 3D cloud for browsing and searching. It was designed with the aim of increasing search efficiency in a variety of active environments, while providing a visually engaging layout, and we evaluated this by conducting a comparative user study. We show that our system can significantly decrease search times compared to the classic grid-based layout, and it has been suggested by subjects that cloud-based searching is more interesting and visually-engaging.

Virtual Work
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...
