Objective reality: 3-D printing gains traction at MIT
MIT Libraries are offering an IAP session (already full) and a brown-bag lunch talk on 3-D printing — technology MIT helped develop years ago that is now entering the mainstream.
As the world turns: Learning about plate tectonics through on-screen interactions
Created by OEIT's ARTEMiS group, the Plate Tectonics interactive visualization challenges students to interpret a 3-D globe of tectonic data, providing animations of the opening and closing of ocean basins and the splitting of Pangaea.
New system allows for high-accuracy, through-wall, 3-D motion tracking
Technology could revolutionize gaming, fall detection among the elderly, and more.
Inexpensive ‘nano-camera’ can operate at the speed of light
Device could be used in medical imaging, collision-avoidance detectors for cars, and interactive gaming.
CSAIL researchers develop new ways to streamline, simplify 3-D printing
New research to be presented at the 2013 SIGGRAPH computer graphics conference could transform field of 3-D printing.
Multiview 3-D photography made simple
A new technique enables the conversion of an ordinary camera into a light-field camera capable of recording high-resolution, multiperspective images.
Printing artificial bone
Researchers develop method to design synthetic materials and quickly turn the design into reality using computer optimization and 3-D printing.
Glasses-free 3-D TV looks nearer
A new method for producing multiple-perspective 3-D images could prove more practical in the short term than holography.
Going with the flow
New 3-D microfluidic system offers greater control over production of drug-delivering nanoparticles.
