Sword tracer

ACM SIGGRAPH 2018 Talks, 2018
This paper describes a system for visualizing sword trajectories in fencing. Fencing swords are very thin and move so fast that it is difficult for audiences to follow their movements even in slow-motion video replays.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
ABSTRACT Why do we hurt people in the name of morality? Here we elaborate on the theory that moral judgment is an evolutionary strategy for choosing sides in conflicts.

The Sword

2003
Abstract The habit does n’t make the monk; but the suit he wears has great influence on the formation of the tiger.
