Real-time 3D model topology editing method in VR to simulate crafting with a wood turning lathe

Summary/Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) has a wide range of applications in different areas, some of the notable being education and training, simulation and cultural heritage. In this paper we present a method for real-time topological editing of 3D models developed for wood turning lathe crafting simulation in VR. The developed algorithm changes the topology of a 3D model according to the real-world actions of the users which are conveyed to the virtual environment by tracking a VR controller or a VR tracker, attached to a real lathe skew or chisel, and used to simulate the crafting process.
