Abstract:

A set of construction of virtual basketball shooting system is designed. A virtual reality scene is established including a basketball court, athletes and a basketball. It provides models for the movement and elastic deformation of the basketball. The entire process of the basketball movement, from shooting to stopping, is simulated by describing the ball’s moving traces, and the elastic deformation in its collision with ground. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is efficient in simulating the virtual shooting process and is applicable to improve the athletes training efficiency.

Key words:  virtual reality, virtual basketball shooting, motion model, deformation model, real-time rendering
