Meschers: Geometry Processing of Impossible Objects

Meschers: Geometry Processing of Impossible Objects Fig. 1. The mescher is a geometry representation that allows rendering and relighting impossible objects (left), as well as performing intrinsic geometry processing operations like heat diffusion (center) and geodesic distance queries (right). Abstract Impossible objects, geometric constructions that humans can perceive but that cannot exist in real life, have been a topic of intrigue in visual arts, perception, and graphics, yet no satisfyin

Meet Meschers, MIT’s Tool for Building Paradoxical Digital Objects

Meet “impossibagel,” a physically impossible bagel that mathematicians use to resolve intricate geometry problems. But impossibagel—and other “impossible objects” in mathematics—is notoriously difficult to replicate, and researchers haven’t been able to fully tap into their mathematical potential. That may no longer be a problem, thanks to a new tool. On Monday, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) announced “Meschers,” software capable of visuali
