Abstract
A system and method to simulate physical objects occluding virtual objects within an interactive space may obtain output signals conveying three-dimensional positions of surfaces of a user object. The three-dimensional positions may be conveyed in a point cloud. Point cloud images may be obtained from the output signals. An individual point cloud image may depict a two-dimensional representation of the point cloud. A current point cloud image may be aggregated with one or more previous aggregate point cloud images to generate a current aggregate point cloud image. A mesh may be generated based on the current aggregate point cloud image. The mesh may include a set of vertices. The mesh may be generated by assigning individual vertices to individual points in the current aggregate point cloud image.
