Graphics & User Interfaces
In a step toward controlling vibrations, researchers have created an algorithm that automatically optimizes the shape of 2D and 3D objects to control the frequencies and amplitudes of the sounds generated when those objects vibrate.
To uniquely identify and encode information in printed objects, Columbia researchers embed carefully designed air pockets, or AirCode tags, just below the surface of an object. The tags are invisible to people but easily decoded using a conventional camera-projector setup.
From GPS to Google Maps to location-based services, geographic location is important to the computational process itself, requiring a new computing paradigm.
