Many electrical and computer engineering projects involve some kind of embedded system in which a microcontroller sits at the center as the primary source of control.
The recently-developed Arduino development platform includes an inexpensive hardware development board hosting an eight-bit ATMEL ATmega-family processor...
Interactive curve modeling techniques and their applications are extremely useful in a number of academic and industrial settings, and specifically play a significant role in multidisciplinary problem solving, such as in font design, designing objects, CAD/CAM, medical operations, scientific data visualization, virtual reality, character...
You say you want a revolution? Well, sometimes the smallest things can create the
biggest changes. OpenGL ES originated that way—in a modest 3Dlabs project in
2001 that sought to define a standardized subset of OpenGL for a range of embedded
systems. It soon became clear that there was a widespread industry desire for a small...
