| Sumario: | Tamaso Poggio, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, aims to speed up both the process of cartoon film making and the speed at which images are sent through the Internet's World Wide Web. Poggio works with neural nets, computer programs designed to have a brain-like facility for recognizing patterns. Through the use of these nets, animation can be done “on the fly” without the necessity of storing many frames. Poggio has helped establish a company, nFX, to exploit his invention—the company's software will be available over the Internet and will allow users to turn pictures on the World Wide Web into animated cartoons.
