Description:
Computer graphics has evolved since Nelson Max’s pioneering sphere ever-sion of the 1970s. We turn spheres inside out symmetrically, not by hand or with analytical formulas, but auto-matically, by minimizing the elastic bending energy of bilipid membranes. This video records what we can expe-rience in the CaliforniaVE immersive virtual environment.
