OBB

Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) is a type of bounding volume used in computer graphics and computational geometry. It is often used to simplify complex geometric objects by correlating them as a box much closer in size and orientation to the actual object. Unlike the Axis-Aligned Bounding Box (AABB), the OBB is not constrained to align with the axis, so the box can be rotated. This orientation is usually chosen based on the object's local coordinate system, so the OBB maintains its rotation. Properties of an OBB include its center, dimensions, and orientation. However, it is worth noting that OBBs can be more computationally intensive than AABBs due to mathematical complexity.
