    摘要: An interface that allows a user to model and analyze the properties of three dimensional surface and the regions surrounding such surfaces. The user manipulates a deformable bed of translucent glass beads that defines the geometry of a surface. An array of light emitting diodes underneath the beads transmits infrared light upwardly through the beads such that the intensity of radiation from each position on the surface of the beads is related to the depth of the beads at that position. A digital camera captures radiation image data which is then processed to create elevation data specifying the geometry of the surface. A processor processes the elevation data using a selected analysis function to produce result data representing computed characteristics of the surface or its surrounding region. The result data is projected as an image onto the surface of the beads. The interface permits the user to modify a surface geometry and directly visualize the characteristics of the modified geometry in real time.

    摘要: Disclosed is a system and method to affect natural lighting profiles in a programmable window made from a single transparent membrane, wherein the method comprises: forming a matrix comprising of pixel elements within the single transparent membrane, setting (in a programmable controller) a degree of shading in at least one pixel in the matrix, receiving control command(s) from the programmable controller and, in response to the control command(s), independently driving the pixel(s) within the single transparent membrane to set its/their opacity according to the degree of shading. The degree of shading in each pixel within the single transparent membrane is controlled by controlling percentage of light transmitted according to the control command(s) issued by the programmable controller.
