MATLAB Demonstration Remarks
After going through the various demonstrations listed, my favorite would definitely be the Teapot Demo under 3D Visualizations. Besides being very amused by the lid lifting feature, I really liked how I could physically see the object in question and manipulate its appearance, its style and surface type; with the help of the computer, I could conceptualize the varying features of the object with far greater detail than I would have on my own. More importantly, the applications of this visualization technology are enormous, spanning from modeling pipes and reactor systems in the petroleum industry to the ever-evolving medical imaging technology in hospitals.
