I oughta be in pictures "¦
Inside every movie buff is a would-be director - and soon he'll be able to prove he's got what it takes: At CeBIT, researchers are demonstrating software that creates virtual representations of objects within a running film. In each scene, the viewer can move and look around. view more (2004-03-18)
OHSU psychiatrist to highlight warning signs for school shootings
Oregon Health & Science University psychiatrist Jerald Block, M.D., will present new research on the psychiatric factors that can lead to school shootings. view more (2008-05-07)
Children with autism may learn from 'virtual peers'
Using "virtual peers" -- animated life-sized children that simulate the behaviors and conversation of typically developing children -- Northwestern University researchers are developing interventions designed to prepare children with autism for interactions with real-life children. view more (2008-03-03)
Researchers discover second depth-perception method in brain
It's common knowledge that humans and other animals are able to visually judge depth because we have two eyes and the brain compares the images from each. But we can also judge depth with only one eye, and scientists have been searching for how the brain accomplishes that feat. view more (2008-03-17)
1 sample examined by 1,000 pathologists -- how and why?
This week, more than eight hundred pathologists from around Europe and the world will take part in a first of its kind, large-scale virtual microscopy slide seminar on the web. view more (2007-09-06)
Telemedicine Could Offer Fewer Follow-Up Tests And Greater Satisfaction For Patients (pp 1957, 1961)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET has measured the effects of telemedicine (the use of video-conferencing technology between patients, general practitioners, and specialists), and demonstrated that this new approach to specialist referral from primary care could result in a reduced need for follow-up tests and lead to greater satisfaction... view more...

Thinking about moving? Let brain waves do the walking
Using brain waves to control screen cursor movements, rather than moving a mouse by hand, seems like science fiction! Yet such direct control over our environment is an integral part of the development work being undertaken by participants in the Presencia project. view more (2004-12-02)
SUNY researcher issued patent for virtual telemicroscope
After nearly ten years of research and development, scientists at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn and Peking University in Beijing were awarded a United States patent for their virtual telemicroscope. This patented software permits off-site pathologists to diagnose cancer or other diseases in patients living in remote locations around... view more... (2008-03-28)
Better Shadows With New Algorithm
Shadows are extremely important in making the graphics in 3D games and Virtual Reality applications seem natural. Soft shadows in real-time applications has largely been an unsolved problem, but now an algorithm is being introduced that will solve the problem and open many possibilities. In his doctoral dissertation, Ulf Assarsson at the... view more... (2003-12-12)
Men and women are programmed differently when it comes to temptation: McGill researchers
Temptation may be everywhere, but it's how the different sexes react to flirtation that determines the effect it will have on their relationships. In a new study, psychologists determined men tend to look at their partners in a more negative light after meeting a single, attractive woman. view more (2008-07-16)
Scientists help police bust forgers
Forging wills and bank cheques could now be near impossible thanks to a team of physicists in Rome (Italy). Writing in the latest issue of the Institute of Physics journal, Journal of Optics A, the scientists announce a new technique that can detect forged handwriting better than ever before. Professor Giuseppe Schirripa Spagnolo, Carla... view more... (2004-08-08)
Virtual Colonoscopy Effective in Preventing Colorectal Cancer
Three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, is an accurate screening method for colorectal cancer. view more (2006-10-18)
Storytelling in virtual environments
Armed with the latest in Virtual Reality (VR), museums can entertain visitors far and wide. Over a third of the people who tested a new interactive and 3D system -flying over a Greek gorge or touring an ancient Asian temple - said their experience was better than a real trip. view more (2005-05-23)
Virtual Stuntmen to debut in Hollywood epic Troy
The first ever Virtual Stuntmen will be used in Troy, the Hollywood epic starring Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Seven) as Achilles - and the technology has been developed by NaturalMotion, an Oxford University spin-off company. NaturalMotion's software endorphin, born out of Oxford University Zoology research into human motion, uniquely creates virtual... view more... (2003-06-23)
"Animals" grown from an artificial embryo
VIRTUAL creatures, with muscles, senses and primitive nervous systems, have been "grown" from artificial embryos in a computer simulation. The multi-celled organisms could be the first step towards using artificial evolution to create intelligent life from scratch. Each creature begins life as a single "embryo" cell, containing a string of random... view more... (2002-08-21)
ETH Project with Costa Rica Set up for Drug Discovery
Nature produces highly interesting substances, which for years have met with great scientific interest. Chance, such as is used for instance in combinatorial chemistry for the synthesis of compounds, cannot replace the intelligence of nature, especially not in terms of the structural diversity of substances. In tropical countries in particular,... view more... (2003-05-19)
Virtual Reality - NPL develops new software for aluminium alloy property prediction
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed a solution to the arduous and expensive task of obtaining reliable values for material properties for aluminium alloys. It comes in the form of the Virtual Measurement System (VMS), a software tool that allows engineers, material scientists and researchers working with aluminium alloys to... view more... (2003-11-13)
Building a better virtual world, one tree (or millions) at a time
When Stanford computer scientist Vladlen Koltun decided to build a better virtual world, he began with 3-D trees-millions of them. Now he wants to give them away. view more (2008-01-09)
Online technical support forums build social capital
Consumers in search of product related information and technical support often turn to virtual communities for help. view more (2008-03-18)
