Simulating the Mechanics of Ant Swarm Aggregations DESCRIPTION:Matthew Loges and Tomer Weiss (New Jersey Institute of Technol ogy (NJIT))\n\nAnts exhibit unique abilities to self-assemble into animate , living structures, which display both fluid and solid-like proprieties. We present an interactive constraints-based approach for simulating the co llective dynamics of ant swarms in various 3D settings. Our method closely imitates real-world behaviors with compelling physical realism.\n\nINVITE D TO THE FIRST ROUND OF THE STUDENT RESEARCH COMPETITION\n\nRegistration C ategory: Full Conference, Experience\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
