I dunno. It's neat, but it doesn't do anything at all that you can't already do in the interactive physics program. The software he's showing off is just another gesture-recognizing program. Snazzy and all, but I wouldn't call it unbelievable.

took him like 5 minutes to realize he needed to move the cup... haha

i could tell from the second he drew it all that they were not going to make it in there

Thank you for not forcing me to be the pessimist

Man, I've made so much shit with interactive physics. Wow, I've probably spent like 100 hours in high school fucking around with that. My teacher was impressed with what we made, even though it was just stuff like a wrecking ball knocking someone's head off, that then gets reflected off a snow plow and smashes down a brick wall.

The guys on Something Awful made some good animations, but it got moved from the gold mine to the archives, so I can't see it anymore.

You're MIT material, son!

Sounds like a really fun program that I could waste hours on.
Heh, I have a really strong longing to play with that program right now. Cool shit.

Decent enough, although when designing something with a team (i don't see the use for the digital pencil otherwise), i'd say just explaining and possibly making a sketch which shows what the thing does to the rest will be faster.

They could leave the drawing part out, just make it moused, and it will be more useful i think. A lot more options, basic shapes, gravity/wind settings. And you could add 3d. Oh wait, isn't that studio max w/ reactor physics?

i have them in my school. they're called smart boards. teachers use them a lot cuz you can do lots of stuff using the pen instead of a mouse so it helps the teachers a lot. i think the program he was using was interactive physics?

So this is what makes MIT better than some regular non-Ivy League college? You'd think there'd be more than that.
