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.

This and lightweight XR glasses have been an OK partial solution for me. Neither is perfect--if you don't wear corrective lenses (or at least if you have contacts) they might be much better. I'm still looking for a good solution. Projector was my first attempt and it had different drawbacks.

A key catch is that these slightly minify objects (or maybe you hold them further away). They're good for large crafts and OK for reading and laptop but I needed a larger font. Weight on the nose after about 30 min is an issue if upright. I wasn't brave enough to try it for cooking or other cutting.

The scenery at Zion National Park in Utah, USA, is truly breathtaking! #FridayFeeling #FridayMorning

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.

du Maurier is like, right there, people...

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.

I didn't realize we were trying to keep it a secret

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.

Worth watching presentation, also provides some background info on how ReSTIR came to be and where it is heading: "ReSTIR: Traveling the Path of Reuse" www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRg9...

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.

Monospace for code vs. the surrounding proportional fonts is exactly the use case I care about as well.

I'll investigate putting this in the default Markdeep stylesheet, which will also make it easier to override a single font without having to restyle everything.

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.

caniuse.com?search=font-... shows Firefox (partial) support started in 2008, Chrome in 2024.

The business goal is to become 10% of the world wide gaming market, so I know it's close to everyone's heart. The labels on any given thing definitely change a lot to hit the broadest set of users and programs.

I'm personally happy just calling everything interactive a "game" everywhere.

Do you play Grow a Garden?

When I'm playing! I'm semi-retired now. I spend most of my time at sea except for some advising of other tech and game companies.

Indeed, something like that! We'll see if the wind and waves favor my actually arriving in Vancouver during SIGGRAPH week. The odds are currently about 20%. I've been eyeing both English Bay/False Creek and several local marinas as places to set up shop. But the weather may not cooperate.

I use many operating systems. My gaming is primarily on Windows 11 and SteamDeck these days, although I run Roblox on macOS. Programming is a mix of Win, Mac, and various Linux distros.

Of course!

Added UI improvements ( a chain meter). Lights that spin when the boss is active and an animation for the boss door opening!!

Nowadays, most scientific papers must include an ethics declaration, about potential conflicts of interest among the authors. I just found this ethics declaration, in a paper written in 1729 : "I Profess, in the sincerity of my Heart, that I have not the least personal Interest
