Soft physics: healing the mind/body split in physics education
, 2012 Physics education is facing a crisis of meaning: students can “plug” numbers into formulas, but research shows they do not give much meaning to physical concepts. This thesis explores how the cultural context of physics education, in particular the mind/body cartesian split, contributes to a loss of meaning.

Simulating Soft-Bodied Swimmers with Particle-Based Physics [PDF]
Soft Robotics, 2019 Abstract In swimming virtual creatures, there is often a disparity between the level of detail in simulating a swimmer's body and that of the fluid it moves in. To address this disparity, we have developed a new approach to modeling swimming virtual creatures using pseudo-soft bodies and particle-based fluids, which has sufficient ...

Unifying Rigid and Soft Bodies Representation: The Sulfur Physics Engine [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Games Technology, 2014 Video games are (also) real-time interactive graphic simulations: hence, providing a convincing physics simulation for each specific game environment is of paramount importance in the process of achieving a satisfying player experience. While the existing game engines appropriately address many aspects of physics simulation, some others are still in ...

Multi-Modal Long-Term Person Re-Identification Using Physical Soft Bio-Metrics and Body Figure [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2022 Person re-identification is the task of recognizing a subject across different non-overlapping cameras across different views and times. Most state-of-the-art datasets and proposed solutions tend to address the problem of short-term re-identification. Those models can re-identify a person as long as they are wearing the same clothes. The work presented
