Want to take your digital art to the next level by blending 3D objects seamlessly into 2D environments using Photoshop? This ...

Physicists have figured out how to move an object in three dimensions without the need for any physical contact, just by the clever use of magnets. Magnetic Levitation, MagLev for short, is the ...

One of Windows’ most historic applications—and one of Windows 10’s few remaining native desktop programs—is receiving a radical overhaul in the free Windows 10 Creators Update releasing next spring.

Researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a neural inverse rendering method that accurately reconstructs the three-dimensional (3D) shapes of moving objects using only three standard projection ...

Engineers at the University of Minnesota have developed a new system that can move objects without making physical contact. The technique involves ultrasound waves acting on specialized surfaces to ...

A world of pinching and grabbing virtual objects in the air still seems more like "Minority Report" than reality, but MIT's Tether glove may help usher in such futuristic interfaces. Glove wearers can ...

There's a model of an odd-looking boat on a tabletop in front of me, and a woman is capturing it with her phone's camera. Only she's not just snapping a photo of the thing — she's moving around it, ...

Researchers have discovered a new method to move objects using ultrasound waves, opening the door for using contactless manipulation in industries such as robotics and manufacturing. University of ...

Do you know what a laser-generated focused ultrasound transducer is? Basically, it's a device that converts laser light into focused acoustic waves, which can in turn be used to move cell-sized tiny ...

Scientists have created new types of 2D nanostructured surfaces which appear as realistic 3D objects – including shading and shadows – using nano-engineering techniques. When light hits an object, the ...
