Alexander Löffler, computer scientist from Saarbrücken, was honored with the Cebit Innovation Award. He developed software through which several displays can be wirelessly connected as a screen wall, despite different screen sizes and resolutions. This is programmed with image content via internet connection. Löffler is a PhD student at Saarland University and doing research in Professor Philipp Slusallek's team at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. http://phys.org/news281889923.html Technology Thu, 07 Mar 2013 14:45:40 EST news281889923 A copy of the handwritten diary that Che Guevara, the Argentine-born Cuban revolution hero, kept before his death in the mountains of Bolivia is now available online, a researcher said Monday. http://phys.org/news269017635.html Other Sciences Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:07:27 EST news269017635 Researchers at Drexel University are bringing the latest technological advancements in 3-D printing to the study of ancient life. Using scale models of real fossils, for the first time, they will be able to test hypotheses about how dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals moved and lived in their environments. http://phys.org/news249042418.html Other Sciences Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:27:16 EST news249042418 (PhysOrg.com) -- A research project at Microsoft Research Cambridge has brought forth a prototype called Holodesk, which lets you manipulate virtual objects with your hand. You literally "get your hands on" the virtual display. According to the official description from its creators, there is at work a "novel real-time algorithm for representing hands and other physical objects" allowing physically realistic interaction between real and virtual 3-D objects. http://phys.org/news238301484.html Technology Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:00:02 EST news238301484 (PhysOrg.com) -- In a twist on the concept of an invisibility cloak, researchers have designed a material that not only makes an object invisible, but also generates one or more virtual images in its place. Because it doesn't simply display the background environment to a viewer, this kind of optical device could have applications that go beyond a normal invisibility cloak. Plus, unlike previously proposed illusion devices, the design proposed here could be realized with artificial metamaterials. http://phys.org/news189418826.html Physics Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:20:58 EST news189418826 (PhysOrg.com) -- General Motors and scientists from the University of Southern California and Carnegie Mellon University are developing a windshield display that will highlight obstacles or objects on the road to warn drivers of hazards in dark or foggy conditions. http://phys.org/news188201385.html Technology Fri, 19 Mar 2010 09:10:01 EST news188201385 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed 3D holograms that can be touched with bare hands. Generally, holograms can't be felt because they're made only of light. But the new technology adds tactile feedback to holograms hovering in 3D space. http://phys.org/news168797748.html Technology Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:16:45 EST news168797748
