Geospatial 3D data is providing a new, more detailed perspective on the physical world, allowing for better analysis and insights, visualization and decision-making across many industries and sectors.

A holographic display scatters light across a 2D surface, and microscopic interference patterns make the light look as if it is coming from objects in front of, or behind, the display surface.

In most vertebrates, skin appendages such as hair, feathers, or scales originate from placodes—small, specialized skin regions whose spatial organization is controlled by well-conserved genetic ...

Liao and the team used a green 532-nanometer (nm)-wavelength laser to inscribe 3D patterns into tiny slabs of the doped glass ...

Hypersonic flight, with speeds exceeding Mach 5, pushes the boundaries of engineering. But as vehicles slice through the atmosphere at these incredible velocities, complex interactions occur ...

Making a movie in 3D involves projecting a different perspective for each eye. When it comes to packaging it for consumers, this is equivalent to putting the same movie on a disc twice ...

Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the possibility of “on-demand knitting.” Think 3D printing, but softer.

The combination of 2D and 3D perspectives is reminiscent of Xbox indie game Fez, but the aesthetic is very different, with a bright blue and orange sci-fi design and free 3D motion.Beyond the ...

Now, Jiayan Liao, Ji Zhou, Zhengwen Yang and a multidisciplinary team have made progress toward this goal by creating reversible, tunable patterns on photochromic gallium silicate glass. The team ...
