(KMJ) – Fresno State engineering students and faculty were joined by Victor E. Bulldog III to demonstrate the latest technologies in mechanical and geomatics engineering.
A special interactive project called the Augmented Reality Sandbox creates models by shaping real sand with simulated rain, virtual topography and water.
3D materials scanned by the University’s new electron microscope are used in nanotechnology —THINK (smart phones, aerospace, auto industry, biomedical and energy storage devices) and 3D mapping.
Victor E. Bulldog III sat for the scanner and it was so lifelike that the school mascot began barking at his own image.
The 3d technology allows geomatics engineers and land surveyors to collect data at ultra-high speeds while measuring space, angles and distance.
What took surveyors about an hour to scan just a few years ago will now take about two and a half minutes.
