A cantilever I-beam is rendered in virtualreality (VR) and a user’s gestures are captured and interpreted in real-time to allow for naturalinteraction with the beam. Users can bend the I-beam with up to three degrees-of-freedom, viamechanics governed by well-known elastic beam theory. This approach evokes a
