ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present a novel approach to animating parametric kinetic spinner in virtual reality. Served for kinetic art edutainment purposes, parametric kinetic spinner is a visually captivating kinetic sculpture that can be dynamically adjusted based on different parameters. More specifically, parametric kinetic spinner is a particular type of kinetic wire sculpture designed with multiple parts, allowing for a wide range of configurations. With our approach, users can modify parameters such as kinetic spinner’s size, shape, material, and rotational speed. Interacting with these parameters and animating parametric kinetic spinners in the VR context enables users to explore the kinetic spinner’s behavior and aesthetics in real time within an immersive virtual environment. By integrating the parametric kinetic spinner into a virtual reality platform, we aim to create an engaging and immersive experience for users. We discuss the technical aspects of creating and animating the kinetic spinner in VR, explore the potential applications, and present the advantages and challenges of this innovative concept.
