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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Imagination Technologies is one of those companies simultaneously ubiquitous and invisible. Its PowerVR graphics processors drive high-profile electronics like Sony’s PlayStation Vita, Apple’s iPhones ...

Unless you're a physicist, you probably don't pay too much mind to the function of light in your daily life. Light is light, right? When there is light, we see, and when there isn't, we don't. But ...

Algorithms are everywhere, lending us money, writing the news and potentially diagnosing illnesses. For a few years researchers have also been exploring their use in fighting crime too, typically by ...
