Deformable object simulation forms a cornerstone of modern computer graphics, enabling the realistic rendering and interactive manipulation of soft, flexible materials ranging from cloth and ...

New technology that invites expressive, two-way communication between a person and the soft, flexible object they are holding or wearing has been developed at the University of Bath. Subscribe to our ...

Input devices such as computer mice may be rigid for now, but thanks to new hydraulic haptic tech they could someday be soft n' squishy. And that's not all … they may also "throb" in our hand to ...

YouTube channel Ten Minute Physics posts a video of a physics-based simulation finished with computer graphics. Maltese Miller, the operator and NVIDIA employee, introduced the many simulation codes ...

Robotic hands capable of picking up objects as fragile as a crisp by “sensing” objects have been developed by researchers. Two new tools built by MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence ...

Ray tracing has always been the "holy grail" of computer graphics, says Jason Ronald, head of program management for the gaming console Xbox. The technique simulates a three-dimensional image by ...

Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a pioneering prosthetic hand that can grip plush toys, water bottles, and other everyday objects like a human, carefully conforming and adjusting its ...

The polygon object can be any shape that has at least three sides and allows for a wide variety of common shapes to be stored in vector form. The example above is a pentagon but a polygon could be ...
