  • Modifiable simulation of physical object behavior
    Patent number: 10748343
    Abstract: A computer device is provided that includes an input device, a sensor device, a display device, and a processor. The processor is configured to detect a physical object in a physical environment based on sensor data received via the sensor device, measure one or more physical parameters of the physical object based on the sensor data, determine a physical behavior of the physical object based on the measured one or more physical parameters, present a graphical representation of the physical behavior of the physical object via the display device, generate a simulation of the physical behavior of the physical object based on the measured one or more physical parameters, receive a user input to modify the one or more physical parameters for the simulation via the input device, and present the simulation with the modified one or more physical parameters via the display device.
