Evaluating graphics displays for complex 3D models
Computer Graphics and Applications, IEEE, Vol. 22, No. 3. (2002), pp. 56-64.This article summarizes a user study of viewing 3D geometry on large-screen display devices. The geometry models the structure of a complex physical object. Our results show that the crispness of a display device (intraframe performance) must be considered along with the speed at which new frames can be computed (interframe performance). It’s important to consider crispness from the user’s perspective, using values that aren’t often published in device specifications. Equally important is the framework for different types of 3D data and the categorization of display technology and techniques

WTC Towers Designed to Withstand Impact of Loaded Boeing 707
WTC Towers Designed to Withstand Impact of Loaded Boeing 70723 min In the following interview clip, which took place inside of the Twin Towers in January of 2001, Frank A. DeMartini, Manager, WTC Construction and Project Management, explains how the Twin Towers were “designed” to withstand the impact of a “fully-loaded Boeing 707.” He also goes on to say that each of the Twin Towers would “probably sustain multiple impacts of jetliners because this structure is like the mosquito netting on your screen door: this intense grid; and, the jet plane is just a pencil puncturing this screen netting; it really does nothing to the screen netting.” It is interesting to note that the planes that slammed into the Twin Towers were Boeing 767s, which have a maximum take-off weight of 300,000 pounds, slightly less than the 330,000-pound maximum of the Boeing 707, making them slightly smaller than the planes the architects designed the Twin Towers to withstand the impacts of. Sadly, Frank DeMartini is not available for comment because he perished in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.
