I guess it's Peter Daukintis week. :) Today's project he's showing off the openFrameworks.
Reminder about openFrameworks?
openFrameworks is designed to work as a general purpose glue, and wraps together several commonly used libraries, including:
OpenGL, GLEW, GLUT, libtess2 and cairo for...

Computers used to be blind, and now they can see.
Thanks to increasingly sophisticated algorithms, computers today can recognize and identify the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa or a can of Budweiser.
Still, despite huge technological strides in the last decade or so, visual search has plenty...
Innovation is an overused buzzword these days. What does it mean, really? Well, Microsoft Research is in
the business of scientific discovery which often leads to innovations that end up in the hands of computer users (or not in the hands of the computer users as the case may be). One area of...
