Method reduces VR sickness by subtly altering user’s field of view in response to “motion”

The research, done by Steven K. Feiner and Ajoy Fernandes, has application for consumer head-worn VR displays.

Animating wet hair: Researchers model interplay of forces between liquid and hair

A Multi-Scale Model for Simulating Liquid-Hair Interactions describes innovations for capturing liquid onto hairs, modeling the flow along hairs, inducing cohesion, and enabling dripping.

Spatial computing

From GPS to Google Maps to location-based services, geographic location is important to the computational process itself, requiring a new computing paradigm.
