Interface III...

Seen below is a video showing how simulation can be assigned to a drawing using point and click. Pioneered by MIT, this app presages the advent of truly "smart graphics" where simulation of complex natural phenomena can be easily applied to rough drawings without having to be a programmer. (Think Sketch on steroids.) At this time, apps like this one center on specific disciplines like kinematics, thermodynamics and wave mechanics but more versatile successors to this example is not far off given the acceleration of tech in the 21st century., The link to this open source program is www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php


Boggles the mind doesn't it?
