VR Interaction Base (lib-engine)

[ddiakopoulos]

A core promise of Polymer is a unified method of treating interactive VR objects. This concept only exists in various bits, pieces, and smaller prototypes. This system should be capable of bringing together the following features:

• a generic interactable base for grabbing and throwing (with direct physics integration)
• optional user input filtering (position, velocity) using the lib-polymer's one euro filter
• well-tested integration with the collision system for common event types (on grab, on grab parent, on release, on intersect, etc).
• haptics sequencing

There are three toolkits worth taking inspiration from:

1. SteamVR Interaction System
2. VRTK
3. NewtonVR
