Trauma to the jaw could be addressed with conventional surgery, but the turtle would be doomed to be nourished by human hands for the rest of her life.

Though, the Turkish team has appealed for help in BTech Innovation, a company that specializes in 3D prints prostheses and implants for people. The company agreed to create a free beak, made entirely from a 3D printer to save the turtle. Using scans carried out on the animal, the beak was measured for precise application and then printed on surgical titanium. The turtle will be released into the natural environment, After you complete the recovery expected in the coming weeks.

Interacting with objects in a video The MIT presented a new technology in which the interaction is achieved with objects in video. The system is not expensive, It requires only a camera and does not need to be 3D scanning of the object. How does it work; You just have to record the object for a few seconds on the move. The technology is capable of recognizing the vibration shape and physical properties of the object. There are many potential applications of this system, such as the creation of special effects at low cost.
