  1. 3D Reconstruction on Google Releases Key Part of Street View Pipeline · · Score: 2

    With this code, one could develop an application that can automatically render a 3D model from a series of images or a video. In other words, you could use a camera to "paint" a nearly photorealistic 3D model - no hours/days/weeks of Blender/CAD work to create a model, just scan with cheap camera. They state, "We have a working Android port but it's not ready yet." Envision an Android app that does this - scan your friends or nearby person into a 3D model - get complete geometry (height, calculated weight, other dimensions).

  3. Orange Cup has these already on British Pizza Chain To Install Cones of Silence · · Score: 1

    and they are gimmicky at best. They only have an iPod connector/dock, so other music players can't use them. Should have used a mini/micro USB port instead. Also, the transparent plastic "cone" is over a small, circular booth (only two cones in the shop near me), and you can still hear some sound from the booth if you're outside it. As was mentioned previously, the easiest/cheapest option for private listening is earbuds.

  4. water balloon on Fun With an Induction Cooktop? · · Score: 1

    safer than your hand. modern induction ranges have safety mechanisms to prevent accidentally burning your hands or other non-cooking inductable materials, so you are probably limited to what will be perceived (by the range) as a skillet/pan/pot - large, ferrous surface.

  5. Just stay away from me, Bishop! on AI Pushing the Boundaries of Space Exploration · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't care if the A2's were a bit twitchy.
