NEW USES OF COMPUTER ANIMATION TECHNOLOGY

When we think of computer animation, we all immediately
think about films such as The Mask, Alien and The Polar
Express. Before the mid 80~s, computer graphics solely
focused on rendering, but nowadays there are three
distinct disciplines that have enabled it to stretch
beyond the realm of film and TV. These disciplines are
known as rendering, already discussed, modeling and motion
control.

However, today we see something in an entirely new field ~
forensic computer animation. This particular technology
was developed and implemented with the crash of Delta
flight 191 in the summer of 1985.

That plane came down just one mile form the Dallas/ Fort
Worth Airport runway when it tried to land but got caught
in a very strong vortex. All 137 on board were lost.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National
Weather Service found themselves in a whole heap of
trouble as a result of that crash. They were being sued
for more than $150 million for wrongful death and damage
to homes. They needed to understand why the crash happened
and put a map to it. This is where computer animation
stepped in.

The problem was that to help jurors in the courtroom
understand the complexity of the crash, the government
needed a way to walk them visually through the flight and
the crash. The answer was a computer animation
presentation that for 45 minutes, explained each detail of
the crash as evidence. With this, computer animation for
forensic study was born. If you have an interest in
computers and forensic science, perhaps computer animation
would be the ideal career choice.
