Collaborate Disseminate
The ease of integrating bendy parts into designs is one of 3D printing’s strengths. A great example of this is [uhltimate]’s six-shot blaster which integrates several compliant mechanisms. The main …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Blaster Does it with Compliant Components
Nerf blasters are fun toys, to be sure. However, they’re limited by factors like price and safety and what Hasbro thinks parents will put up with. Few caregivers would ever …read more Continue reading Bonkers Nerf Blaster Sprays Balls Everywhere
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) is a method of reconstructing complex 3D scenes from sparse 2D inputs, and the field has been growing by leaps and bounds. Viewing a reconstructed scene …read more Continue reading Explore Neural Radiance Fields in Real-time, Even on a Phone
ZeroNVS is one of those research projects that is rather more impressive than it may look at first glance. On one hand, the 3D reconstructions — we urge you to …read more Continue reading Synthesizing 360-degree Views From Single Source Images
Nerf has made plenty of fully-automatic blasters over the years, but their toys typically lack punch, precision, and fire rate. [3DprintedLife] set about building a blaster to rectify that last …read more Continue reading Powerful Nerf Blaster Aims To Fire 100 Darts Per Second
The Pistol Splat was a very weak blaster built for children, designed to shoot toy-grade paintball-like ammunition. [Matt Yuan] recognised the potential of the single-shot design, though, and repurposed it …read more Continue reading Modding a Nerf Blaster The Old Fashioned Way
Here’s some fascinating work presented at SIGGRAPH 2023 of a method for radiance field rendering using a novel technique called Gaussian Splatting. What’s that mean? It means synthesizing a 3D …read more Continue reading High Quality 3D Scene Generation from 2D Source, In Realtime
Neural radiance field (NeRF) technology is starting to show some incredible capabilities in turning 2D images and videos into 3D models, but University of Maryland researchers are taking things to another level, using nothing but eye reflections.Contin… Continue reading Researchers can now 3D-model a room just from your eye reflections
NERF guns are a toy that appeals to adults and youngsters alike — if you’ve never had the chance to pelt your friends with safe and kid friendly foam darts …read more Continue reading Escalate the NERF Arms Race With Self-Firing Missiles
Pioneered by researchers at Uc Berkeley, UC San Diego and Google, NeRFs first popped up on our radar in March 2022 when nVidia revealed its super-quick “Instant NeRF” demo at the GTC Developer Conference.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Nerf, … Continue reading Jaw-dropping AI NeRF tech is gaining incredible 3D capabilities
