...USC Belgrade hand could not cut a person, but it was instrumental in the history of the development of robot hands. Known for its true anthropomorphic (human-like) design, it had four fingers and an opposable thumb with 5 degrees of freedom and was the first to be able to give a true handshake Capable of holding up to 5 lbs., the hand had...

...USC has created a low-cost volumetric 3-D display that brings every kid's hologram dreams closer to reality The process is not simple but can be defined through a few key concepts: Spinning mirrors, high-speed DLP Projections, and very precise math that figures out the correct axial perspective needed for a 360-degree image (even taking into...

...USC has created a low-cost volumetric 3-D display, which is really impressive. Apparently the process requires spinning mirrors, high-speed DLP Projections, and very precise calculations that figures out the correct axial perspective needed for a 360-degree image. The process even takes into account a viewer's positioning. Small viewing...

USC Creates 3D Display, Now Just For the Actual TIE Fighters [Displays]

2008-06-26 15:40:00 by Mark Wilson in Gizmodo
...USC demoing a TIE Fighter puts an end to that age-old debate. Using a high=speed DLP projection, a mirror reflects 5,000 images per second, which combine to make a pretty 3D object. But the most remarkable point about the system is that it updates in realtime at 200Hz, taking into account the user's position and adjusting the image placement...

...USC has created a low-cost volumetric 3-D display that brings Princess Leia one step closer to begging Obi-Wan for help. The system projects high-speed video onto a rapidly spinning mirror. As the mirror turns, it reflects a different and accurate image to each potential viewer The rendering algorithm can recreate virtual and real scenes with...

...USC was designed by Coburg University of Applied Sciences student Gregor Dauth, who says it folds to a size small enough to fit into the tiny Smart car. Far from being a bare bones unworkable concept, the USC includes such practical features as a built in generator hub for the integrated LED lighting that switches on automatically when it...

...USC's Information Sciences Institute produced this amazing pyramid, around 30 microns across, which may one day be used to deliver precise micro- or nano-doses of medication. The structures, dubbed "voxels" are made of silicon, cut into flats and then folded up and sealed to enclose tiny volumes of space inside. The team hasn't stopped at...
