In the recently published ‘High-Resolution 3D Printing of Freeform, Transparent Displays in Ambient Air,’ researchers from Korea are studying complex geometries in the form of optoelectronic architectures. If you are not familiar with such work, you may be surprised to find out that that such structures have been studied extensively in the past few years. In most cases, optoelectronic devices with 3D structures must be created with stacks of 2D device layers, with interconnections woven in via wire...

Doodlebug The last time we checked in on this series I was focused on using tools that felt familiar to me so that I can make awesome parametric designs. After some rest and relaxation, I did some research to see how far down this rabbit hole I can go. Lo and behold, so many options are in front of me now. For anyone who uses Rhino, there are so many plugins and tools ready at your disposal. I will showcase and awesome plugin that allows me to integrate my skills with Adobe Illustrator within...

Topographic Map Briefly in the previous article, I brought up a topic or domain that is vital for different LiDar applications. In college, I distinctly remember in some of my physics classes how I would fail to pay attention to certain things or topics because they bored me. This topic actually got my attention and I rarely missed questions on it in exams. The topic we are talking about is topography and in particular micro-topography Topography is the study of the shape and features of land...
