VirtuSphere, Engines of Creation, Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines & Science Gallery
Feb 7th, 2008 by Mike Bennett
VirtuSphere lets you physically run and walk in any direction to move around virtual 3D worlds! Watch this video of it in action.
Eric Drexler’s forward thinking book Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology is free online. The updated version Engines of Creation 2.0 is also available for free, but to download it you need to be connected via a US IP.
Add to your reading list Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines (KSRM) by Robert A. Freitas Jr and Ralph C. Merkle. KSRM offers a general review of the voluminous theoretical and experimental literature pertaining to physical self-replicating systems and self-replication.
Woohoo, Science Gallery has launched in Dublin, Ireland. What a great initiative. Art + Science + Play = Idea Goodness
