Mueller explains that she developed a “high-fidelity digital twin of the sculpture generated through our computational simulation that you can orbit and pan through to get perspectives that you can’t see physically in the space.”  Full story via The New York Times→ This edition of the MIT Daily was brought to you by music in service to the community. 🎻 Thanks for reading, and enjoy your weekend! —MIT News Forward This Email Subscribe This email was sent to rh3252705.pese@blogger.com because of your affiliation with MIT, or because you signed up for our newsletters. subscribe update preferences unsubscribe view in browser MIT News Office · 77 Massachusetts Avenue · Cambridge, MA 02139 · USA
