Manufacturing Research

Computer simulation tools can be used to design products. For example, in automobile tire research, simulation tools can be used to estimate braking distances of tires under various road conditions and tire tread patterns. Researchers from Pusan National University (J.R. Cho, H.W. Lee and W.S. Yoo) have used computer simulation and published their results in a paper titled A wet-road braking distance estimate utilizing the hydroplaning analysis of patterned tire in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering. Volume 69 Issue 7.

Movies

Computer-generated special effects have made possible the creation of award-winning films such as Star Wars: Episode II, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Jumanji, Forrest Gump, and the Perfect Storm.

In particular, Star Wars: Episode II was the first major motion picture to be shot entirely on digital cameras. The production team saved time and money usually invested in film stock and photochemical processing by using digital cameras. Traditionally, images shot on film had to be scanned and transformed into digital media to incorporate visual effects. Digital cameras facilitated the process of transferring movie images from different stages of production.

You can read about how movie effects are incorporated using computer technology by Industrial Light & Magic, the company that created the visual effects for the first Star Wars movie.

Video Games

The video gaming industry has advanced greatly from the simple black and white dotted images of video game characters from the 70s to the life-like 3-D simulations of video game creatures. Video game systems are computer systems integrated with sophisticated video imaging technology to bring a world of fantasy to life on your computer screen. You can browse through a sample video game website.

Music

Distribution of music in the 20th century has evolved from analog to digital form. Music can be downloaded from Internet sites and stored in hand-held size MP3 players. This expanded the volume of music selections that can be stored and played. You can read about how MP3 Players work.
