“The way I was taught Newton’s first law in physics class in school never really made sense to me.

Researchers have developed a virtual reality application where a range of 3D modelling tools can be opened and controlled using just the movement of a user’s hand. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used machine learning to develop ‘HotGestures’ — analogous to the hot keys used in many desktop applications. HotGestures give users the ability to build figures and shapes in virtual reality without ever having to interact with a menu, helping them stay focused on a task without breaking their train of thought. The idea of being able to open and control tools in virtual reality has been…

Barron Joseph Orr, chief scientist at the UNCCD, says governments must put a stop on land conversion, in order…
