Geoffrey Leonard Matthews. Geoffrey Leonard Matthews (widely known as Geoff Matthews) (September 1946 – 24 January 2015) was an English car designer who designed cars for manufacturers, including Chrysler, Talbot and Citroën.

Early life

Matthews was born to Joan, who had conceived him with Charlie Mann, a Canadian serviceman based in England while awaiting return to his home country at the end of World War II. Unwilling to raise a child who would be stigmatised as illegitimate, and with Mann now gone, Joan arranged for Matthews to be adopted; he grew up in a family of farm labourers that picked hops for a living. He won a place at grammar school, then went on to study car design at the Royal College of Art.

Notable achievements
Matthews worked on the exterior design of numerous vehicles, including: the Chrysler Alpine of 1976 (aka Simca 1308), Chrysler Sunbeam, Talbot Tagora, Matra Rancho and the car that would become the Renault Espace.

During the 1980s Matthews moved to France where he was promoted to Chief Exterior Designer at Citroën, where he oversaw the development of the exterior designs for production cars, refreshes and concepts. This involved working on the Citroën AX, BX, series 2 CX as well as  XM.

During his time at Citroën, Matthews also spearheaded the EOLE project, which was displayed at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, and pioneered developments in aerodynamics and design.

Views on car design
In an interview in 1990 by Gavin Green for Car magazine, Matthews was quoted as saying, "There is less room for visionary individuals than there used to be: less room for the very people who gave us the car industry in the first place. The great old men of the car industry – the ones with the vision and power to get things done – have gone. The Ferdinand Porsches, Enzo Ferraris, William Lyonses, Henry Royces. Those men stamped their personalities on their cars."

Later career
Following his time at Citroën, Matthews took up key positions in a number of companies including; Styling International (a subsidiary of Hawtal Whiting Design), MGA Developments, Geoff Matthews Design, Facel Vega Motors, Connaught Motor Company. Matthews also took up roles within the Automotive Design Courses at Coventry and Swansea University.

He was the subject of a BBC documentary, This Was My Dad - The Rise & Fall of Geoffrey Matthews.

Babylon.js. Babylon.js is a JavaScript library and 3D engine for displaying real time 3D graphics in a web browser via HTML5. The source code is available on GitHub and distributed under the Apache License 2.0.

History and progress 
It was initially released in 2013 under Microsoft Public License, having been developed by two Microsoft employees in their free time as a side-project. David Catuhe created the 3D game engine, while David Rousset implemented VR, Gamepad and IndexedDB support. The two were aided by artist Michel Rousseau, who contributed several 3D scenes. Babylon.js is based on an earlier game engine for Silverlight's WPF based 3D system.
Catuhe's side-project then became his full-time job, and his team's primary focus.
In 2015, it was presented at the WebGL Conference in Paris. Following its promotion and application in games, video game publisher Ubisoft released an Assassin's Creed title built atop the library in 2014. As of 2024, the project has more than 500 contributors.

Its use has developed into a variety of fields such as:

 virtual worlds
 crime data visualization
 education in medicine
 fashion avatars
 managing Kinect on the web
 military training
 modelling historic sites
 Product design
 RDF graphs
 urban underground infrastructure modelling

Technical description
The source code is written in TypeScript and then compiled into a JavaScript version. The JavaScript version is available to end users via NPM or CDN who then code their projects in JavaScript accessing the engine's API. The Babylon.js 3D engine and user code is natively interpreted by web browsers supporting the HTML5 standard and WebGL to undertake the 3D rendering.

Modeling methodology
The 3D modeling process used is that of polygon modeling with triangular faces to be represented by shell models. Limited use of constructive solid geometry is possible, though only as a transitional method to create the union, subtraction, and intersection of shell models. Once created, models are rendered on an HTML 5 canvas element using a shader program which determines the pixel positions and colors on the canvas using the polygon models, the textures applied to each model, the scene camera and lights together with the 4 x 4 world matrices for each object which stores their position, rotation and scale. The technique used to produce photo realistic images is that of physically based rendering along with post-processing methods. In order to simulate collisions between models and other real world physical actions, one of two physics engines need to be added as plugins: Cannon.js and Oimo. Animation involving, for example, changes in position or color of models is accomplished by key frame animation objects called "animatables," while full character animation is achieved through the use of skeletons with blend weights.

Gary Babcock Gordon. Gary Gordon is a retired engineer, naval officer, associate professor at San Jose State University, Agilent Technologies Fellow, and co-founder of Cambotics, a company pioneering robotic studio camera dollies.

He is a named inventor on over 100 patents including the modern optical computer mouse, and his works have been featured on over 20 journal and magazine covers.  At Hewlett Packard he pioneered instrumentation for testing computer circuits including the first Logic Probe, Logic Clip, Logic Pulser, and HP's first Logic Analyzer. Subsequently he led a number of significant projects including HP's distance-measuring laser interferometer, the ORCA Robot, and various instruments used in analytical chemistry and bioscience.  His research also included computer input devices, and in 1999 he was awarded HP's first annual Prize for Innovation for co-inventing the modern optical computer mouse which measures travel by correlating successive images of the work surface.

His philanthropic interests include writing eye tracking software for controlling  a  screen cursor with one's gaze and the SoftSwitch input device, both for paralyzed computer users, teaching radio technology at Handiham  radio camps, and creating a short video showcasing their work.

In 2017 the Computer History Museum produced a 45 minute video and transcript chronicling Gordon's career and his contributions to the development of digital computers.
