About:
The Qt Quick 3D Physics module provides a high-level QML API for integrating 3D physics simulation into Qt Quick 3D applications. It abstracts complex physics engines like Jolt to handle collisions, rigid bodies, and kinematic movement. This allows developers to create interactive 3D scenes with realistic physical behavior without writing low-level physics code.

Key Features:

High-level QML API for easy integration
Support for rigid bodies, colliders, and triggers
Kinematic and dynamic physics objects
Collision detection and ray casting

Use Cases:

Developing 3D games with realistic physics interactions
Creating interactive product visualizations or digital twins
Building educational simulations requiring physical accuracy

Alternatives:

Bullet Physics – Bullet is a lower-level C++ library requiring manual integration, whereas Qt Quick 3D Physics offers native QML bindings.
PhysX – NVIDIA's PhysX is a high-performance engine, but Qt Quick 3D Physics provides tighter integration with the Qt ecosystem.
