In my first article, I wrote about rotating the UCS about an axis and the use of the UCS command in 2D drawings. From this article on, we will learn about the 3D applications of the UCS command. Let’s examine the various directions on a cube before we go further, in Fig.1. Fig. 1 Well the figure itself is pretty much self explanatory.. AutoCAD 2009 users will enjoy easier access to these various views through ...

While New Yorkers have been consumed by the stock market meltdown, a tiny little pet store quietly opened four days ago at 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City. There are no puppies or kittens in the windows here. Instead, a live leopard lounges on a tree in the window. Or is it? In other windows, things get a bit more bizarre. McDonald's Chicken McNuggets ...

User Coordinate System (UCS) is a must-know for 3D user’s of AutoCAD. Whenever you start a new drawing in AutoCAD, you are met by a World Coordinate System (WCS) [of course, unless you have a different setting in your template. This coordinate system has its origins as 0,0,0 and XY plane as paralell to the earth's surface. Think about your screen as earth's surface. An imaginary perpendcular from your screen towards you will be the ...

Televisores holográficos podem estar a poucos anos de nós graças a uma nova descoberta na tecnologia tridimensional. Pesquisadores da Universidade do Arizona disseram que eles criaram os primeiros displays 3D atualizáveis com memória, um pré-requisito para fazer com que qualquer imagem holográfica se mova. Com a nova tecnologia, as telas agora podem ser apagadas e reescritas em questão de minutos.Apesar de isto ainda ser muito mais lento que a taxa de atualização de televisores 2D ...

But the bigger surprise is Hathaway, who has been cast as ...

A Pioneer mostrou sua nova tecnologia Floating Vision na CEATEC. É um sistema de camadas: primeiro, uma LCD com computador embutido; depois, um conjunto de lentes 3D; finalmente, um “sensor de espaço”, ou tela virtual, onde você pode movimentar seus dedos e ver animações 3D reagirem de acordo com eles. E, como o Microsoft Surface, o sensor também pode distinguir entre e interagir-se com diferentes objetos: segure seu telefone sob um objeto em queda, por ...

It's a system of layers: first, an LCD with built-in computer, then an array of 3D lenses, and finally the "space sensor," or virtual screen, where you can wave your fingers around and watch the 3D animations react accordingly. But the space sensor can also distinguish between and interact with different objects, like the Microsoft Surface: hold your phone under a falling object, ...

This 56-inch monstrosity is hailed as a Quad Full Autostereoscopic 3D HDTV, which means that it packs a slightly absurd (in a good way, of course) 3,840 x 2,160 resolution and can churn through data at an alarming rate.

Initially, this technology could find its way into virtual keyboards, but in the future—as the size and resolution increases—there are endless possibilities. And with "endless possibilities" I really mean "virtual sex." Don't believe me? See what ...
