UP! Available in stereoscopic 3D
Come ormai tradizione (mi è sfuggita solamente la recensione personale di Wall-E), riporto sulle pagine del blog la mia opinione sull'ultimo lungometraggio di casa Pixar, Up. Il film, che ha aperto quest'anno la prestigiosa kermesse a Cannes, è il decimo nato degli studios di Emeryville, presentato sia nella versione originale bidimensionale, sia in quella stereoscopica 3D, per cui l'aggiornamento non mi ha particolarmente impressionato, limitandosi principalmente ai fondali.
SGI Octane III
dal sito web SGI: "Octane III takes high performance computing out of the data center and puts it at the deskside. It combines the immense power and performance capabilities of a high-performance cluster with the portability and usability of a workstation to enable a new era of personal innovation in strategic science, research, development and visualization. In contrast with standard 2P workstations with only eight cores and moderate memory capacity, Octane III's superior design permits up to 80 high-performance cores and nearly 1TB of memory. Octane III significantly accelerates time-to-results for over 50 HPC applications and supports the latest Intel® processors to capitalize on greater levels of performance, flexibility and scalability. Pre-configured with system software, cluster set up is a breeze". Magari le venderanno anche al supermercato...
Augmented Reality con Google Earth
I ricercatori del Georgia Institute of Technology hanno utilizzato immagini tridimensionali tratte da Google Earth per aggiungere video live allo scenario. L'aggiunta di riprese reali ai modelli generati al computer è un tipo di tecnologia conosciuta come augmented reality. I ricercatori statunitensi stanno per rilasciare un paper sul loro lavoro, ma al momento hanno già rilasciato un video su YouTube per mostrare alcuni risultati.
