Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a machine-learning accelerator that is resistant to the two most common types of cyber attacks. This development is a major leap forward in data and information security within devices using machine-learning applications. The chip can protect sensitive user information such as health records and…
Researchers at MIT have developed a technique to give animators greater control over the movements of their 2D and 3D characters. Their method generates barycentric coordinates, mathematical functions that dictate how shapes bend, stretch, and move through space. Unlike other methods, this approach offers flexibility by allowing animators to choose suitable functions for achieving desired…
MIT has had an eventful year, from President Sally Kornbluth's inauguration and Nobel Prize in Chemistry winner Professor Moungi Bawendi, to headline-making scientific and technological strides. Among the notable instances of 2023, one of the most inspiring highlights was Steve Hartman's exploration of the science of kindness towards Professor Anette “Peko” Hosoi.
An essential focus was…
Researchers at MIT have introduced a new technique for artists that could revolutionise the way animated characters are brought to life in movies and games. The technique is based on barycentric coordinates, a mathematical function that defines how 2D and 3D shapes can move and bend. This is a significant advance on existing techniques which…
MIT had a remarkable year in 2023, achieving progress on several fronts from scientific discoveries to spearheading community initiatives. Among the notable events were the inauguration of MIT President Sally Kornbluth, the Commencement address by Mark Rober, and Professor Moungi Bawendi receiving the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his research on quantum dots.
The institution made…
MIT researchers have developed a new method to improve the control animators have over their animated characters. The technique involves the use of a mathematical function called Barycentric coordinates, that defines how both 2D and 3D elements can be manipulated in space. Unlike other techniques, this allows for more flexibility and leeway for creatives.
An important…
MIT had a groundbreaking year in 2023 with several remarkable achievements, from President Sally Kornbluth’s inauguration, Mark Rober’s inspirational Commencement address to Professor Moungi Bawendi clinching the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The year saw MIT researchers making crucial contributions in areas of astrophysics, artificial intelligence, clean energy solutions, and medical diagnosis tools. Besides, promoting the…
Researchers at MIT have developed a technique which provides an updated approach to creating animations and could deliver more control to artists. The technique uses mathematical functions known as barycentric coordinates, which dictate how 2D and 3D shapes interact with space, introducing possibilities for curvature and movement. Current techniques tend to offer limited flexibility, generally…
