Developed by Bruce Johnson, a local computer hobbyist, the program saved the life of Clyde Ritter, 73, when he fell into a diabetic coma, and rescued another older resident, whose hands had become stuck in a window.
These remarkable moving images and hundreds like them on display last week in Philadelphia at the tenth annual exposition of the National Computer Graphics Association are more than pretty pictures. Each represents a three- dimensional microcosm, stored within the memory of a computer, that human operators can turn, twist and...
Three-dimensional computer graphics, the technique by which digital machines generate realistic-looking objects and move them as fast as they would move in real life, has come of age. Architects are using 3-D technology to let clients walk through buildings before they are constructed. Scientists employ it to...
As 27,000 artists, engineers and enthusiasts gathered for their big show, the computer-graphics experts had special reason to celebrate. Late last month two of their own, John Lasseter and William Reeves of Pixar, a computer manufacturer in San Rafael, Calif., won the first Academy Award given for a...
Behind the burst of activity is a dramatic advance in computer technology. Over the years, computer scientists have devised an impressive array of mathematical techniques, or algorithms, for rendering 3-D images on a 2-D computer screen. Traditionally, these algorithms -- for drawing things in perspective, for example, removing surfaces...
