SWIFT++: A new collision detection package

SWIFT++:  Speedy Walking via Improved Feature Testing for Non-Convex Objects

We announce the release of a new proximity query package called SWIFT++.
SWIFT++ is a C++ library for intersection detection, tolerance verification,
exact and approximate distance computation, and contact determination of
general three-dimensional polyhedral objects undergoing rigid motion.
Polyhedral surfaces may have boundary.

SWIFT++ combines convex surface decomposition with a convex bounding volume
hierarchy and Voronoi based walking (first proposed by Lin and Canny).
It has been successfully applied to dynamic simulation and haptic applications.
It is free for non-commercial use.

More information about the package, new proximity query algorithms, MPEG
demonstrations and related publications can be found at:
