Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) presented two papers at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles. One paper introduces new methods for texturing highly deformable surfaces, and the other proposes a faster, more precise way to compute geometric properties of shapes. Both show how to boost graphics accuracy while cutting computational cost, with potential applications across video gaming, visual effects and simulation. The studies have been published in ACM Transactions on Graphics.Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) presented two papers at SIGGRAPH in Los Angeles.

Generative AI is built on the work of humans, but these creatives are rarely paid. If we don’t protect them now, entire categories of labor risk being obliterated.Generative AI is built on the work of humans, but these creatives are rarely paid.

Microsoft on Tuesday sought to reassure European users with a “multi-billion-dollar” deal to rent AI infrastructure from Mistral, hoisting the French developer into the lucrative business of renting compute capacity.Microsoft on Tuesday sought to reassure European users with a “multi-billion-dollar” deal to rent AI infrastructure from Mistral, hoisting the French developer into the lucrative business of renting compute capacity.Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]
The huge popularity of AI chatbots can be explained by their accepted role as fictional characters in people’s lives—in the same way as those found in films, TV and books, a new study shows.The huge popularity of AI chatbots can be explained by their accepted role as fictional characters in people’s lives—in the same way as those found in films, TV and books, a new study shows.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]
Imagine buying three identical 3D printers. Despite being the same brand, the same model and even having similar serial numbers, each machine may behave slightly differently. Over time and at scale, these differences can accumulate into significant manufacturing defects.Imagine buying three identical 3D printers.

A research team led by Professor Jo Woon Chong of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with researchers from KAIST and Texas Tech University in the United States, has developed the Passenger Movement Estimation System (PMES). This AI-based system predicts passenger movements using CCTV footage to prevent subway door entrapment accidents before they occur.A research team led by Professor Jo Woon Chong of the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), in collaboration with researchers from KAIST and Texas Tech University in the United States, has developed the Passenger Movement Estimation System (PMES).
