Leveraging Wettability Engineering to Develop Three-Layer DIY Face Masks From Low-Cost Materials

Researchers Develop Low - Cost Holographic Display

A team of MIT scientists has developed a prototype for a small, inexpensive, holographic video system that works with consumer computer hardware such as PCs or gaming consoles, thereby enabling users to view images in three dimensions. The Mark III display could enhance participation in video games and virtual worlds, which currently are displayed mainly in two dimensions. The technology could ...

Leveraging Laptops: Resources for Low-Cost Low-Level AI

The ubiquity and capability of off-the-shelf laptop computers offer AI educators remarkable opportunities to reach broadly across the subfields of AI. By leveraging student laptops, instructors can make so-called low-level subfields of artificial intelligence – for example, computer vision and robotics -almost as accessible as investigations into higher-level topics that might rely less on sens...

Control surface wettability with nanoparticles from phase-change materials

Low Cost 3D Face Acquisition and Modeling

In this article we present a low cost 3 0 face modeling scheme that uses only an overhead projectoq a camera and a plane object. We deal with the calibration of such a system, the 3 0 face reconstruction itself; and then the texturing of the resulting 3 0 shape.

Engineering Controlled Low Strength Materials Using

An investigation was conducted to determine the influence of recycled scrap tire rubber on the engineering properties of controlled low strength material (CLSM). With control over the ultimate compressive strength of CLSMs being key for applications such as backfilling utility trenches where re-excavation is often necessary, incorporation of scrap tire rubber into the CLSM mixture is a viable w...
