<p>Based on the method of spherical bounding box of collision detection in virtual scene, two irregular objects in motion will be the collisions between, can use the spherical bounding box method to carry on the examination, adopt corresponding measures to avoid a collision. As shown in figure <a ref-type="fig" href="#j_ijanmc-2018-033_fig_001">1</a> first to realize the dynamic pick virtual object, and then based on the actual need, for each of the virtual objects involves creating spherical bounding box. At two objects, get the distance between the two and earn two sphere of their respective radius. When testing conditions have been met, according to the spherical bounding box collision detection algorithm, judge whether the two objects has hit. If there was a collision, will conduct collision response, according to the current characteristics of the virtual object, take different response way.</p>

Surrounded by the ball and AABB close degree as flexible Oriented Bounding Box OBB, OBB was essentially a closest to the object cuboids, only the object of a cuboids’ may, according to the first moment arbitrary rotation. OBB surrounded by the ball and AABB than closer to the object, It is consistent with the direction, construction method, but the gender is poorer, the overall OBB performance than AABB surrounded the ball, OBB bounding box to the basic idea of the method is to use simple geometry instead of complicated geometry novelties, first to object bounding box for rough detection, when the bounding box intersect surrounded by its geometry can be intersection, This can eliminate a large number of impossible at the intersection of geometry and geometric part, which can quickly find at the intersection of geometric part.</p>
