CS 347: Lecture 11 – Forms

CS 347: Lecture 10 – Responsive Web Design
Dear students: The technologist’s temptation is to ignore the differences in people and machines.

Timing in Twoville

Fabricators use Twoville to describe static geometric shapes that can be fed into a cutting machine and turned into a tangible object. Animators use Twoville to orchestrate purely virtual cinematic progressions in which the actors are geometric shapes. The thread binding these two domains […]
