“MIT” digital drawing board: Innovation is in the eye of the …
In the following video presentation, you will discover the so-called MIT digital drawing board complete with geometrical recognition and simulation of movements. Everybody on the Internet or so seems to have seen this video, and a lot of bloggers have liked it and commented on it. Taken at face value, I must admit that this video is quite impressive and I even started to imagine what this could do to the world of design and Marketing. I suspected that there would still be a fair amount of development to do if one wanted to design a fully-fledged vehicle for instance with a tool like this, but if it existed, it sounded pretty clear to me that this kind of intelligent recognition technology is offering a lot of new possibilities to designers and engineers alike. Marketeers could have also been interested in order to test new ideas in front of potential clients. But is this video so impressive and besides, what did it have to do with the MIT altogether?
French-speaking blogger Pierre Vandeginste on his site “aïetech” thinks he has the answer to that question and his opinion is quite straightforward. Here is a rough translation of some of Vandeginste’s points:
- First of all, Vandeginste is amazed by the fact that most commenters think that this video shows state-of-the-art interactive boading technology whereas in fact it looks very old. Weird,
- The video is labelled as if the drawing board was an MIT
Too may flaws for me…to actually use it now.. The DMC-ZS3 has a very long telefoto, which means the lens actually bumps filter. The small autofocus light on this camera reads the filter as the area it should focus on…try sawing away corner of your cokin filter in that case. The reflection you can’t do much about except to paint the chome rims of the camera matte black. Solution. rubberband the filter on! The filter costa about $3 at Amazon. Try it, cheap enough!
good work

why dont you talk to your schools adviser or councilor instead of asking people on yahoo who dont know your course description or what school you go to or may be going to.
