Swarmonoids

However cool this looks, 4 years of research for getting a cartoon book is a little bit pricey.. :)

An idea

The other day I saw an ad: "this bag fits the hand luggage size.
I had to describe the situation to someone, who has never been to an airport: your hand luggage must fit into a box, if it is only a little bit bigger, you have to remove something from it.
(Mostly getting out a jacket or pullover, and taking it on, or throwing away some big but cheap souvenir.)

The idea: why do we need the box?
Maybe we could check the size of the luggage with a laser scanning device, or with a video recorder.
(As you've seen in a previous post, a 3D model could easily been constructed..

There would be no need to try to push your stuff at all costs into that box.. you just have to smile and show the bag while the device scans you and your belongings.

"Ott is volt egy!"

GelSight - Innovative research at MIT


Woooow! GelSight offers various new research opportunities, for example....
This unique measurement system can help to analyse the surface patterns in the firearms and toolmarks identification. Nowadays, the forensic experts investigate these surface structures in 2D and I think the 3D comparison of these patterns can provide more exact identification process in the law enforcement.
