Japanese research group concocts 3D restoration magic from regular photos (video)

Post Image

Reconstructing 3D spacial data has long been possible, but convincing the average consumer of that would be another chore entirely. In the future, however, it may be simpler to believe. A crew of researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology are hard …


Humanoid bot created to analyze mechanics of swimming, replace unreliable carbon-based life forms

Post Image

Meet Swumanoid. He’s the replacement Tokyo Institute of Technology researchers have whipped up for pesky earthlings who can’t identically repeat tests or minutely change their swimming style. The bot can reproduce a swimmer’s full body movement and m…

T-rays produce 3Gbps short-range wireless, make WiFi pout in the corner

Post Image

The last time we saw T-rays, they were busy scanning bodies for tumors and security threats. Six researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology are now aiming the terahertz-level frequencies at a less organic target: fast wireless. Running at 542…


NEC’s tactile touchscreen nudges at the future (video)

Post Image

A touchscreen’s fatal flaw is its lack of feedback: imagine the satisfaction if you could feel those Angry Birds as they flew across the screen. NEC and the Tokyo Institute of Technology wanted a simpler solution to tactile displays than Senseg’s elec…


NVIDIA’s Tesla GPU powers Tsubame 2.0 to green supercomputer supremacy

Post Image

The Green500 might not be quite as well known as the Top500, but it’s no less of an honor to be counted among the world’s most energy efficient supercomputers. NVIDIA is tooting its own horn for making it on to the list for the second year in a row …
