free Virtual Reality Toolbox™ 4.7 (6)



Virtual Reality Toolbox™ 4.7 from mathworks.com
Animate and visualize Simulink systems in three dimensions



Model of an airplane during takeoff, created using Simulink. The Virtual Reality Toolbox animates the virtual world in the Web browser window during simulation.
The Virtual Reality Toolbox™ lets you view and interact with dynamic system simulations in a 3-D virtual reality environment. The toolbox links MATLAB® and Simulink® with virtual reality graphics, enabling MATLAB or Simulink to control the position, rotation, and dimensions of the 3-D images defined in the virtual reality environment. The result is a presentation-quality 3-D animation.
Through visualization, the Virtual Reality Toolbox product provides insight into the dynamic systems that you model in Simulink. You can use these viewing capabilities in automotive, aerospace, communication, biological, and mechanical applications. Read more

3-D Holography Breakthrough from sciencedaily.com



University of Arizona optical scientists have broken a technological barrier by making three-dimensional holographic displays that can be erased and rewritten in a matter of minutes.
The holographic displays -- which are viewed without special eyewear -- are the first updatable three-dimensional displays with memory ever to be developed, making them ideal tools for medical, industrial and military applications that require "situational awareness."

"This is a new type of device, nothing like the tiny hologram of a dove on your credit card," UA optical sciences professor Nasser Peyghambarian said. "The hologram on your credit card is printed permanently. You cannot erase the image and replace it with an entirely new three-dimensional picture." Read more

The virtual reality : IBM Sensors Link Real World and Virtual World (4)



IBM Sensors Link Real World and Virtual World from 3pointd.com



UgoTrade has a lengthy write-up of some of the work IBM has been doing in the virtual world of Second Life lately. [Via IBM’s Rob Smart.] The blog entry is all about creating links between the real world and the virtual world, so that sensor data and other information can be visualized in Second Life on a real-time basis. In the screenshot above, “The blue balls with white designs represent active Bluetooth devices. The pyramids scattered about the floor represent other people working, with the color designating things like physical presence or telepresence,” according to UgoTrade. This is just one kind of application that could start to make Second Life a much more useful place. I’d love to see entities and conditions being tracked around SL in real time. Why? Because there’s a ton of information to be extracted from a digital environment, which can then be applied to real-world problems from logistics to marketing to sociology, you name it. That said, this won’t start to get really interesting until we have a nearly plug-n-play solution. Which is probably one of the things IBM is working on. Keep your sensors tuned. Read more.






3D tools : Inventor 2D to 3D Tool (2)




Inventor 2D to 3D Tool from labs.blogs.com



The 2D to 3D tool for Autodesk Inventor helps you create 3D models of parts that were designed in 2D. Yesterday we posted an updated version of the tool on Autodesk Labs. The new version is compatible with the Autodesk Inventor LT Technology Preview. Getting to the third dimension is no longer limited to our Autodesk Inventor 2008 or R11 users.

Updating utilities so that a wider variety of mechanical designers can benefit is alive in the lab. Read more
