CBS Outdoor Taps N4D for First 3D Advertising Campaign

3D

Have a look at this Stereoscopy.com article: "CBS Outdoor and N4D have teamed up to launch Grand Central Station's first 3D digital signage campaign. The centerpiece of the campaign in New York City is a 14 foot screen displaying commercials in 3D throughout February. The physiologically correct 3D content created by N4D is a first in digital outdoor advertising and is expected to lead the way for this type of application.

"To bring high definition 3D content to a high profile location like Grand Central Station, we needed a partner with the experience and resources to meet our clients' needs. Our partner N4D created a custom 3D solution that exceeded our expectations and their team overcame every challenge we presented to them. We look forward to a continued expansion of our 3D offering with N4D," said David Lane, Vice President Digital Media CBS Outdoor.


SimMan helps nurses at Inova Loudoun Hospital practice procedures

Learning

From the Washington Post website: "Diane McFarland injected oranges with shots during nursing school until she felt confident enough to prick human subjects. Then she and her classmates took turns on each other.

Nurses at Inova Loudoun Hospital can now practice on SimMan 3G, a life-size patient simulator in a virtual reality lab that opened Monday on the first floor of the Leesburg facility.


Milling and Drilling in Cyberspace

System

Take a look at this Science Daily article: "Machinists, numerical control programmers or mechatronics engineers -- trainees in engineering jobs often have to master complex equipment. In the future, trainees will practice and learn milling, turning, drilling and programming routines son a virtual model.

A trainee carefully clamps a workpiece in a lathe. He must program the machine correctly before he can machine the part. This is a tricky task and the trainee will have to solve a similar problem for his final exam.


NFL's Cowboys Plan Texas-Size 3D Demo

3D

From this Telepresence Options article: "The National Football League's Dallas Cowboys plan to demonstrate this Sunday how conventional two-dimensional HD video can be converted to 3D HD through sophisticated software processing, using technology from Edison, N.J. start-up HDLogix.


Students can enter virtual world to test school design

Design

From the BBC News website: "Students and teachers in Birmingham will be able to test plans for rebuilding schools using a computer-game style virtual world. A project linking universities and software developers will allow schools to experiment with different furniture layouts and building designs.

It has been likened to playing a computer game in which characters can move around a 3D environment. Birmingham has plans to rebuild or refurbish 82 secondary schools. This virtual tool will help with one of the biggest Building Schools for the Future projects in the country.


A Virtual Physician's Conference

Medical

From this Science Daily article: "Telemedicine facilitates communication between family physicians, hospitals and nursing services -- yet current solutions lack flexibility and are consequently very expensive. A new software program is now available that can be tailored to a range of applications.


New Computer Simulator Helps Design Military Strategies Based On Ants' Movements

Military

From this Science Daily article: "A researcher at the University of Granada has designed a new system for the mobility of military troops within a battlefield based on the mechanisms used by ant colonies to move using a commercial video game.

This work, developed at the department of Computer Architecture and Technology of the UGR, has designed several algorithms that permit to look for the best route path (this is, to find the better route to satisfy certain criteria) within a particular environment.


World's Largest Exhibition of Modeling, Simulation and Virtual Reality

Events

From the PRWeb website: "The largest exhibition of modeling, simulation and virtual reality in the world is scheduled to open in Orlando on November 30. Featuring nearly 500 exhibitors from around the world and encompassing over 200,000 square feet of exhibition space, the event, called the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference I/ITSEC points the way to the future for the entire M&S industry.


Virtual crashes and clatters get real

Modeling

From the New Scientist website : "The clatter of a dropped trash can and the crash of a cymbal – both easily recognisable sounds.

That's why computer games or CGI movies that feature such noises use samples recorded from life, not generated by software as the graphics have been. It would take weeks of intense computing to synthesise the sound of a single cymbal clash.

New methods developed at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, change that and could make objects in games and movies sound more like those in real life. Thin shells


Two Retinal Imaging Display Devices at Prototype Stage

Augmented Reality

This Physorg.com article reports "NEC and Brother are both developing wearable prototype devices that use Retinal Imaging Display (RID) technology to project images directly on the wearer's retina. NEC's gadget is designed to interpret foreign languages and project a translation onto the retina, making it possible to have a conversation without an interpreter. Brother's device will project images of documents, allowing the wearer to read them in complete privacy.
