Lenovo and Mechdyne offer 120-day TGX trial during quarantine
Systems with Nvidia’s Grid technology and Quadro graphics can deliver up to 4K graphics performance remotely. The tech industry is moving online en masse. If the lockdowns go on much longer, that whole transition to the cloud thing will be done by Halloween. However, a major issue for many people who depend on powerful computers at work is that their computers at home … [Read more...] about Lenovo and Mechdyne offer 120-day TGX trial during quarantine
Twinmotion sees new milestones
An easy rendering tool designed for AEC gets advanced features. Visualization is an important tool for architects, so important that it has traditionally been sent off to specialists, which can be an inconvenience for fast changes and quick updates. Twinmotion, by Epic, is being developed as an easy-to-use content creation tool that produces high-quality … [Read more...] about Twinmotion sees new milestones
Visualizing data—analytic rendering via Khronos
The more you can see, the better you can analyze. Last month I wrote about a new book on Data science and visual computing. The book tells us, as we already well know, we are awash in data. It’s like the weather, we know it, we can’t manage it. We are struggling to get a grip on it, understand it, use it and exploit it, but it is being generated faster than we can harness … [Read more...] about Visualizing data—analytic rendering via Khronos
Data science and visual computing
A book everyone interested in big data and visualization should read. We are awash in data; it’s like the weather, we know it, we can’t manage it. We are struggling to get a grip on it, understand it, use it and exploit it, but it is being generated faster than we can harness it. Data has always been available to us; the difference now is that it is all (or most of it) in … [Read more...] about Data science and visual computing
zSpace lets you see what you’re studying
Physics, anatomy, and chemistry come alive. At CES this year, zSpace introduced their new 15-inch 3D laptop. It is a passive 3D display system, but those few words don’t really do it justice. The laptop employs zSpace’s patented 3D screen technology and uses a pair of extremely lightweight circular polarized glasses. Inside is an AMD APU A9-9420, 8GB of DDR4 main memory, … [Read more...] about zSpace lets you see what you’re studying
