Another rough video to illustrate ODE collisions in an Augmented
Reality setting : an "handheld virtual object" interacts with a virtual car,
and the operator makes it bounce here and there amongst the
real toy buildings.

This is a 9.81 m.s-2 ODE world, with a simulated 1:1 scale. Hence,
the duration of the bounces of the car : the operator is to be considered
as a Godzilla-like creature sending it 10 meters up, etc...

You'll see how hard it is to toy with ODE collisions when you have
no force feedback ! It is so easy to ask the joints to do
impossible stuff, or to "pinch" a solid and obtain violent bounce
in response, etc...

If you've any idea about what demo you'd like to see with such
settings, do not hesitate ! Would you like to see a Porrasturvat
in the real Eiffel tower stairs, for instance ? :-)
