Isto é fabuloso!
Seguir a Trajectória da Luz, de forma a ter uma Imagem em 3D...
E agora, ainda por cima, agora muito mais barato, preço ao nível duma Maketbot, e vendo através de objectos translúcidos!
Fotógrafos, Engenhocas, Fablabers, aproveitem!
Neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night stays MIT's new TOF camera
Brian Dodson
MIT researchers have developed a new time-of-flight (TOF) 3D
"nano-camera" with the ability to work with translucent objects, motion,
fog, rain, and other factors in the environment that totally confuse
previous TOF cameras, such as Microsoft's
second-gen Kinect.
The MIT Media Lab team has added these new capabilities by introducing
additional information into the illuminating light beam. The resulting
camera costs less than US$500 in parts.

Para se informarem do porquê de patentearem as vossa ideisa, eis uma acção de esclarecimento, para dia 10 deste Mês, no Centro João Sem Medo:
Eis mais umas Ferramentas bacanas da DataCad:
DXF Calcs permite-vos poupar muito trabalho, esboçando as vossas ideias, sabendo, logo ali, o que vai resultar delas...
Isto é uma Suite de 3 programas que vos vão fazer muita falta, o Vídeo só ilustra um deles,;
Há também o Tolerance Calc, e o section Calc, vão ao Link, à descoberta dos outros:
Next-Generation Engineering Calculators For CAD Users
Here
you will find information about groundbreaking calculations software
that enable CAD users to solve a wide range of engineering challenges
with unprecedented ease, speed, and accuracy.
Three powerful solvers to enhance your CAD system capabilities
GrafiCalc Elements©
GrafiCalc
Elements enables users to conceptualize, analyze, and solve a wide
range of engineering design challenges while making informed decisions.
GrafiCalc
Elements combines the disciplines of sketching and calculations in a
single application that enables users to automate engineering
calculations, evaluate design options, document, share, and reuse
engineering knowledge.
Initial geometry can be entered directly in GrafiCalc Elements as well as imported from CAD in the DXF format.

E para se divertirem, eis uma Boa Prenda de Natal Engenhocas, da KJMagnetics, Ímanes de Hematite, não tão fortes quanto os de Neodímio, mas bem menos quebradiços...
Eis os Ímanes Cantores!
Mag-Neato Toys
Some of our favorite toys that we often share with kids aren’t actually neodymium magnets. See our
Mag-Neato Toys section for a variety of shapes of some really fun magnets. These aren’t neodymium – they’re made from polished
hematite magnet material. They’re a lot weaker than a neodymium magnet, but they are seriously fun.
Unlike neodymium magnets, you can toss and let these magnets hit one
another without worrying so much about breaking them. In fact, the
various ways you can let these magnets come together make interesting
sounds. It is a lot of fun! They’re a perfect size that is easy to
grab, strong enough to be fun but not too strong.
In the video below, we show how to make them whistle, buzz and snap.
It's a decent demonstration, but completely fails to show how long kids
can stay entertained by these magnets!
