The project will use Unity engine and modeling software like Lightwave and Blender to create a detailed 3D environment with small open spaces and realistic lighting effects.
Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton were pioneers in using photography to capture motion. Muybridge conducted famous experiments in the late 1800s using multiple cameras to prove that all four hooves of a galloping horse leave the ground. He later invented the zoetrope, an early animation device. Harold Edgerton advanced this work in the 1900s by capturing motion too fast for the naked eye using strobe photography. Both influenced later motion picture technology through their innovations in depicting movement through series of photographs.
Eadweard Muybridge was a pioneering English photographer in the late 1800s who developed techniques to capture sequences of movement through multiple photographs. By using a series of cameras and a fast shutter speed, Muybridge was able to take photographs that depicted alternating phases of movement, creating one of the earliest moving images. His work laid the foundation for motion pictures and inspired future inventors. Stop motion animation techniques like those used in modern films were pioneered by animators including Willis O'Brien, who created groundbreaking effects for King Kong using miniature models, and Ray Harryhausen, who refined earlier techniques.
The document provides information on the history and techniques of stop motion animation. It discusses early animation devices like the zoetrope, phenakistoscope and zoopraxiscope. It also covers key figures in the development of stop motion like Eadweard Muybridge, who captured motion through sequential photographs, and his influence on later animators. Willis O'Brien is discussed for his pioneering use of stop motion to bring King Kong and other monsters to life in films. The document also touches on principles like persistence of vision that help create the illusion of movement from individual frames.

Optical camouflage uses retro-reflective materials and a system of cameras, computers, projectors and mirrors to render objects invisible. It works by capturing the scene behind an object, processing the image, and projecting it onto the retro-reflective material covering the object so that viewers see through to the background scene. Current prototypes can only achieve invisibility within the visible light spectrum and over a narrow range of viewpoints. Metamaterials that can manipulate electromagnetic waves are being developed to improve optical camouflage and potentially allow true invisibility. Potential applications include medical, aviation, automotive and home uses. However, limitations remain around the wavelengths and movement that can be cloaked.
The M.B.T.S. plate scanner is an open source and 3D printed plate scanner created by students to make the technology more accessible. It uses a digital microscope and stepper motors to map petri dishes. The group aims to send tardigrades, or water bears, to the moon as the first lunar colony to advance their goal of space exploration. They plan to market and sell the plate scanner to raise funds for their tardigrade space mission.

Dave Shafer has had a long career in optical design spanning 48 years. Some highlights include:
1) As a young boy, he was fascinated by optics and did experiments with magnifying glasses and homemade microscopes.
2) He studied optics in college in the 1960s when there were only two undergraduate optics programs worldwide.
3) Over his career, he has designed optics for applications like military reconnaissance, medical imaging, laser fusion experiments, lithography steppers, and space telescopes.
4) He started his own optical design consulting business
The document proposes designing an environment in a rural area to support astronomical observation and education. It would involve constellations represented by LEDs on the ground, an interactive robot named Orbie Star to provide information, and Lumalive scarves that play music related to stars. Users could learn about and locate constellations using their mobile phones and these interactive tools.

Vision: To reveal the emotional aspect of stars observation by involving the users in a “promenade among the stars”; to enable the dissemination of scientific content regarding astronomy in a playful way.
This document proposes using augmented reality (AR) apps in schools to enhance learning. It suggests AR can raise student interest by making lessons more visually engaging. Examples of AR apps described include talking textbooks, 3D simulations of scientific processes and structures, and interactive models with hotspots for additional information. Subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, geography, history and math are discussed with app ideas like 3D anatomical models, interactive molecular structures, virtual tours of historical sites, and geometric shape explorations. The document promotes further discussion with educators to develop subject-specific AR apps to improve education.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
