3. Haouchine, Nazim, et al. "Fracture in augmented reality." ACM SIGGRAPH 2015 Posters. ACM, 2015.
Article link

In this paper, the researchers present a method to use Computer Vision in Virtual Reality interaction that involves the change in shape of interacting object. The fracture point is detected by using the subtraction technique, assuming the background is uniform. This is a drawback, since in AR or VR, the background is dynamic, which will become a hinder for this technique.
