Abstract

In this paper, we propose a system for the intuitive control of fluid behavior through direct manipulation. The proposed system recognizes specific hand gesture commands to manage underlying 3D fluid simulation and adjust the parameters of fluid behavior. Thus, users are allowed to control the dynamics of fluid easily without detailed knowledge of physical simulation. The proposed system is expected to bring the benefits of 3D fluid simulations to a broader range of users.
