Putting a turbo engine into an old car gives it an entirely new life--suddenly it can go further, faster. That same idea is now being applied to neuroscience, with a software wrapper that can be used ...

Ray tracing algorithms have emerged as a cornerstone for generating photorealistic images by simulating the complex interactions of light with virtual objects. These algorithms trace the paths of ...

Real-time path tracing, the next stage of game rendering, is on the horizon, Nvidia says. But wait--didn't RTX just get here? So what is path tracing, how is it different from ray tracing, and why ...

Contact tracing has become a key strategy in combating the novel coronavirus – particularly with regard to asymptomatic people who may not know they've been exposed. However, trying to track down ...

The Apple/Google contract tracing API may incorporate ‘Turing algorithms’ to improve the accuracy of determining the coronavirus infection risk … One of the weaknesses of using Bluetooth signals to ...

We all know that turning ray tracing on radically reduces performance, so any help in the performance department is not only welcomed, it's begged for. A team of researchers from the UK, US, and ...

Eye tracking algorithms have become a cornerstone in understanding complex human visual behaviour by accurately classifying eye movements into distinct events such as fixations, saccades, smooth ...

Ray tracing and path tracing are two of the most exciting and demanding dynamic lighting techniques available to gamers and game developers in 2024. They both represent a massive leap in realism over ...

Modern IRST (infrared sighting and tracking) sensors allow for the efficient tracking of an enemy target (in Italy, we have the excellent Skyward-G, developed by Selex Galileo). However, the problem ...

Misfit, formerly Misfit Wearables, the maker of the jewelry-like Shine activity tracker, has partnered with smartwatch-maker Pebble to integrate its algorithms into that company's device. According to ...

Soltec has developed a new bifacial tracking algorithm to determine the optimal angle for solar trackers to maximize the production of specific bifacial modules in solar plants. The algorithm ...
