Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

Because of my spinal injury, I was thinking that I wish I could have upside down belaying glasses so that I can hold a book or phone comfortably again and...this product exists, and is really inexpensive! They're called "lazy glasses" or "crochet glasses".

Now to find out how well it works for me.

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

I put a massive number of changes in today's release of the new version of the #quadplay retro fantasy video game console. Available now at:

morgan3d.github.io/quadplay/

The main focus of these changes was mobile: new aspect ratios, new battery saving optimizations, new exported game UI options.

20kts of wind makes for a lot of miles put away!

I just marvel at the free energy of wind and current--I'm moving my *home* around with minimal effort, cost, and environmental impact, while sitting here making a sandwich and coffee enjoying the ride.

My team is hiring again!

We've got two jobs posted: EXPERT and SENIOR writer. In our org chart, Expert is a click above Senior and focused on craft. Senior owns big parts of the game and could eventually be promoted to a direction- or craft-focused role.

matklad.github.io/2025/07/16/f... convinced me to try the "font-size-adjust" feature — it's now live on redblobgames.com . I'm using it to to keep the body text and code (monospace) text matched.

A 1966 NSF grant of $80,000 finds totally unexpected “thermophile worms” living in Yellowstone’s hot springs. The discovery sits on a shelf till 1983, before becoming key to the development of PCR genetic testing.
