A new technique gives animators the flexibility to see how different mathematical functions deform complex 2D or 3D characters, and lets them choose the function that best fits their vision for the animation.

Boston MA (SPX) Dec 18, 2023 - More than 2,000 years ago, the Greek mathematician Euclid, known to many as the father of geometry, changed the way we think about shapes. Building off those ancient foundations and millennia

MIT Professor Justin Solomon applies modern geometric techniques to solve difficult problems in a variety of areas, such as developing machine learning models that perform more accurately on target datasets and helping autonomous vehicles identify pedestrians.

Researchers developed an algorithm that can align two 3D shapes by mapping their volumes, which is more effective than other methods that align shapes by only mapping their surfaces.

A better way to match 3D volumes -

MIT students Zoë Marschner and Charlotte Wickert have been selected to receive a Barry Goldwater Scholarship for the 2022-23 academic year.
