"We propose a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into existing photographs without requiring access to the scene or any additional scene measurements."

"If you want to be a game programmer, or for that matter any sort of programmer at all, here’s the secret to success in just two words:  Ship it.  Finish the product and get it out the door, and you’ll be a hero.  It sounds simple, but it’s a surprisingly rare skill, and one that’s highly prized by software companies.  Here’s why."

"He transformed a machine retired from a Chinese production line into a large scale, low-res 3D printer."

"Putting those together, one can take the depth image from the Kinect and turn it in to a metric point cloud with real distances. Then, those points can be projected back to the RGB camera centre to determine which RGB pixel corresponds to each depth point, and hence arrive a colour for each point in the cloud."

"We took some time to play around and get used to the dynamics of the clay print process. ... After some calibrating I decided to print a test design that would be hard to make using conventional techniques: a double walled vessel with fins connecting in- and outside."

"The John Carmack keynote ranges from topics such as the ZendiMax buyout of id Software, the expansion of id Software, Rage, QuakeLive, iPhone game development, and many technical topics which are beyond my capacity to outline."

"The Plenoptic camera is a novel single-lens camera that captures 3-D scene information. A plenoptic image is captured with a single lens and a lenticular lens array at the imaging plane. This image, like an insect's compound eye, consists of multiple sub-images each imaging the scene in front of it, in the plenoptic camera, the main lens aperture is imaged behind each lenticular element. ... [photos] Photographs digitally refocused at different depths, computed after a single exposure of our light field camera. The fourth image shows what a conventional camera would have produced."

"ILoveSketch, a 3D curve sketching system that captures some of the affordances of pen and paper for professional designers, allowing them to iterate directly on concept 3D curve models."

"Upon entering the final level, you realize that it all looks suspiciously familiar... It is the first level! The game is an infinite loop! You have to play Duke Nukem forever!""

"... add a pink flag to any and all women living in the area that are my age, and have their social networking profiles set to single. one persons utopia is another's dystopia of course but I like the concept."

"So why is it important to make specular maps?"

"First Life is a 3D analog world where server lag does not exist"

"The wallpapers listed below are sorted by the number of people who have added each one to their favorites list. Most popular desktops are on top."

"In our hour-long talk, we talked about the state of PC gaming, QuakeCon and the pros and cons of developing for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."

"Just a little fun with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3"

"If you view is that SL has certainly not attained status of de facto standard as the ‘3D web’ - how are we to know when something has? What characterizes the tipping point when a n other wizzy 3D tech becomes the 3D tech?"

"Linden Labs, its creator, likes to constantly trumpet the idea that SL represents new opportunities for real-world companies to make money virtually, but that’s simply a flat-out lie."
