MIT's "TactStyle" program enables creators to use image prompts to stylize the textures of 3D models. It can customize the tactile properties of accessories, decor, & more: bit.ly/42HJwBQ https://bit.ly/42HJwBQ24 Apr 2025 17:18 +0000at://did:plc:dlmaizgntvbcpxfthstaokq5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnl7oj5wus2thttps://bsky.app/profile/csail.mit.edu/post/3lkswyqfmgk2vCable-driven mechanisms enable streamlined, precise motion, but are difficult to assemble by hand.
