FINGER MODEL VERIFICATION METHOD AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to generate, in a simulation space, a rectangular parallelepiped surrounding a target part among a plurality of parts. The target part is taken by a human body. The rectangular parallelepiped has surfaces in contact with a maximum outer shape of the target part. The processor is configured to identify, among the surfaces of the generated rectangular parallelepiped, surfaces other than a surface in contact with a part different from the target part, and select combinations of two surfaces among the identified surfaces. The processor is configured to identify, among the selected combinations, a combination which satisfies a condition that a vector from a point of a first finger to a point of a second finger penetrates the rectangular parallelepiped when the two surfaces in the combination are taken by the two fingers. The two fingers are included in the human body.
