To enable as many cities as possible to have their own 3D city model, the specialists from 3D Reality Maps, perfected the next generation of high resolution 3D landscape models, and the technology for 3D modeling of cities.
Cosmo Wenman went to the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, took hundreds of pictures, documenting busts and reliefs from every accessible angle, and turned the photos into three-dimensional digital maps, using a free program called Autodesk 123D Catch.
Tactus Technology is the developer of a breakthrough dynamic user interface for CE, mobile and automotive devices -- completely transparent physical buttons that rise up from a touchscreen surface on demand.
About the project: The question was how to communicate the philosophy behind the new collection of German "Haute Couture" fashion designer Stefan Eckert in a better way. The answer was the world's first complete 3D holographic fashion show. I teamed up with director Florian Sigl to create the visual concept for the show and how to express the collection within this special medium as best as possible. After getting the footage from the great film production team, I did all stages of post production, from 3D to motion graphics to compositing. The result was one of the biggest holographic projections ever which creates a complete optical illusion and breaks the rules of time and space on stage.
The Human Media Lab at Queen's University in Canada has developed a Star Trek-like human-size 3d videoconferencing pod that allows people in different locations to video conference as if they are standing in front of each other.
Higher order polyhedra can indeed fold up and assemble themselves. With support from the National Science Foundation, Brown University mathematician Govind Menon and Johns Hopkins University chemical and biomolecular engineer David Gracias are developing self-assembling 3-D micro and nanostructures which can be used in a number of applications, including medicine.
From a distance of 500 kilometers out in space, two German satellites equipped with special scanners are making a 3D map of the Earth's surface within an astounding accuracy of just two meters.
Rice University researchers led by chemist James Tour have just written a paper in the journal Nature Communications that describes transparent, non-volatile, heat- and radiation-resistant memory chips created in Tour’s lab from silicon oxide sandwiched between electrodes of graphene, the single-atom-thick form of carbon.
It’s the most advanced imaging scanner in Lee County. When doctors need quick access to better see what’s going on it the body, they can now rely on a new 3D scanner. 3D images are going from the movies into the exam room.
The Mechanical Organism is a live visual music performance. It is made from interpretations of music that are modeled in 3d and animated to the rhythm. The music and animation are controlled live at the same time with a midi controller.
Visuatari is a work using the technique of 3D videomapping, in order to contrast this latest technology with classic sound and picture to video games, giving honor to that days, where children admired such technology could not fail to see and play in front of that virtual world so unknown and so interesting as well.
Imagining what your store will look like when you start implementing different merchandising strategies is not always easy. Using ACTISKU technology you can recreate the look and feel of a store.
This is an illustration of color-keying used to digitally clear tissue and allow visualization of internal structures in 3 dimensions. The technique is ideally suited for in situ hybridization analysis to detect mRNA in an anatomical context.
A system first made for robot navigation could give blind people the equivalent of a Braille head-up display, according to French researchers. Two cameras mounted to a pair of glasses generate a three-dimensional image of a person’s environment and their place in it, displaying the information on a handheld Braille device.
