Recently at the lab we got some new Intel RealSense Depth Cameras. These cameras are able to create point clouds of real-world scenes. In other words, the data produced consists of 3-dimensional points in space! There are many possible use cases for this, but one of the ones we have been focusing on here at

I recently implemented a green screen algorithm for my Chalktalk presentation software. This will allow me to give Chalktalk lectures with arbitrary backdrops. This might come in handy if, say, I’m in NYC but I want to give a lecture about hypercubes in front of La Grande Arche de la Défense in Paris. We got

Recently Unity updated its version to 2018.3 and it is packed with a lot of wonderful features, and my favorite of them is definitely the Visual Effect Graph (VFX graph). VFX graph allows you to create amazing particle systems with an easy-to-use node-based system, and if this is not wonderful enough, the new VFX graph

This is officially our 200th daily post, and a good time for an announcement about what’s to come on our website. We’ve upgraded our server to a newer version of PHP.  This means we’ll be able we were able to configure a modern WordPress theme to organize all of the content on the site. So

What sounds go into silence? Have you ever noticed that there’s never actually moments of actual “silence” when you’re watching a film/tv show? (In fact, when Star Wars The Last Jedi actually decided to include a silent scene that lasted 10 seconds, movie theaters had to put up warning signs since too many people complained

For the last month or so, I’ve been working on creating a library of assets for students to access. The idea is to make low-poly assets that students could use within their own projects. This would prevent them from having to spend time looking for or creating extra assets and allow them to focus on

In my past blogs, I mentioned that I have been working on a project that recognizes footprint image captured by Tactonic pressure sensor, and obtains the Arch Index by calculating the ratio of the middle third area to the whole footprint area. Arch Index is a good way to measure the height of the foot

Happy Holiday! (Thanks to all the professors, my proposal was approved yeh.) We’ve been talking about providing multiple Chalktalk boards in immersive environments for a while and now it exists! Well, it is not fully functional for now but we have a basic idea about how multiboards look like. Let’s take a look at my eight-directional

In order to understand what our lab does, it’s useful to think about visions and prototypes. We generally start with a set of visions for what might be possible in the future, given reasonable assumptions. For example, in 1990, a lab such as ours might have envisioned that something like the Web would soon come
