glass





Engineers at MIT, in partnership with the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, have devised a way to build a camera lens that avoids the typical spherical curve of ultra-wide-angle glass, while still providing true optical fisheye distortion. The fisheye lens is relatively specialist, producing images that can cover as wide an area as 180 degrees […]

MIT engineers develop a totally flat fisheye lens that could ...




Collaborative-Glass-Robotics-Laboratory-Virginia-Tech-RISD-glass-3D-printing Glass printing is, as you can imagine, a pretty heady process. It requires a lot of heat and a lot of luck and a general acceptance that your print will look awful simply because the glass will cool unevenly. Once you get over all of those things, however, you’re ready to rock and roll. Researchers at Virginia Tech and the Rhode Island School of Design have created a system and lab… Read More
