Abstract

A method, system and program for producing an interactive three-dimensional holographic image, including the steps of generating, by one or more processors of a computer system, a virtual object and assigning physical properties to the virtual object using metadata. Signals are received from a virtual tool to determine a position of the virtual tool. Interactive force between the virtual tool and the virtual object are calculated based on the signals from the virtual tool and the position of the virtual tool. A modified virtual object is generated based on the interactive forces and the physical properties, and the modified virtual object is displayed as a holographic image. The system may also determine a force feedback according to the position of the virtual tool in relation to the virtual object, send the force feedback to a user through a haptic interface device; and update the force feedback according to movement of the virtual tool in real space.
