The Reactable brings Lights,Camera, Music
The Reactable looks like a lit-up, glass-topped table. But in fact, it’s an experimental musical instrument which uses digital image processing to make music. Using cameras from Allied Vision Technologies, researchers at the University of Barcelona have developed the Reactable which lets players or musicians produce and synchronize sounds by placing and moving various Plexiglas objects on and around the one-meter (3ft.) table.

Pike Makes Foosball Robot Nearly Unbeatable
The capabilities of modern, freely programmable circuits (Field Programmable Gate Arrays or FPGAs) have been put to the test in a most interesting and novel way by a group of degree candidates at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences (FH Köln). Their project, an automated robotic foosball table enabled with the help of the Pike from AVT, demonstrated the incredible possibilities of integrated machine vision and FPGA technology.

Full Scale Testing: Fatigue Test of CF-18 Aircraft
Established in 1916, NRC (National
Research Council) has been Canada's
leading R&D organization for 90 years
now. In its early years, NRC functioned
mainly as an advisory body to government,
a role that changed greatly in the
early 1930s when new laboratories were
built in Ottawa. NRC continued to offer
cutting-edge research in support of industry
throughout the 1970s and 1980s, a
tradition maintained to this day. Key
success included the development of
Computer Animation Technology (1970s)
and the Canadarm (1980s).
NRC's recent history has focused on
developing partnerships with private and
public-sector players in Canada and
internationally to help drive technology
and stimulate wealth creation.

Do perfect eyeglasses exist? Here's how Rodenstock uses individual face measurement for tailor-made eyeglasses.
Rodenstock is one of the global leaders
in ophthalmic optics and employs about
4,500 people. Whether it's eyeglass lenses
or eyeglass frames – the Rodenstock
brand stands for products of highest
technological sophistication and superb
quality. There's a good reason for this
company's leading position: Rodenstock
spurs the technical advancement in ophthalmic
optics with major investments in
research and development. It's the only
company in the world that has been dealing
with both eyeglass lenses and eyeglass
frames since its foundation 125
years ago. This combined competence
allows for revolutionary developments, for
example, the screwless miniature cylinder
joint, the newly designed spring joint or
exceptionally thin glasses.

White Paper details FireWire developments and trends
Industrial, medical and scientific imaging applications have been traditionally conducted on analog imaging systems. These analog systems required the use of framegrabber interfaces to convert the analog images for subsequent digital interpretation and processing. In the last few years, the speed, price, quality, and overall capabilities of digital imaging solutions right from the camera have rapidly evolved, largely due to the raw bandwidth capabilities of digital communications. Digital cameras, especially those with on-board FireWire (IEEE 1394a or 1394b) communications conforming to the IIDC (DCAM) standard have created cost-effective and powerful solutions options being used for thousands of different applications around the world.
