Dr. Guandao Yang (Stanford): “Toward Spatial Intelligence with Limited Data”

Speaker: Dr. Guandao Yang (Stanford) Title: Toward Spatial Intelligence with Limited Data Video: Click here Abstract:  The current success in artificial intelligence relies heavily on internet-scale data with unified representations. However, such large-scale homogeneous data is not readily available for spatial computing applications involving 3D geometry. In this talk, I will present two approaches to […]

Dr. Peyman Milanfar (Google): “Denoising: A Powerful Building-Block for Imaging, Inverse Problems, and Machine Learning”

Speaker: Dr. Peyman Milanfar (Google) Title: Denoising: A Powerful Building-Block for Imaging, Inverse Problems, and Machine Learning Video: Click here to view Abstract:  Denoising, the process of reducing random fluctuations in a signal to emphasize essential patterns, has been a fundamental problem of interest since the dawn of modern scientific inquiry. Recent denoising techniques, particularly […]

Prof. Shwetadwip Chowdhury (UT Austin): “Computational bio-imaging via inverse scattering”

Speaker: Prof. Shwetadwip Chowdhury (UT Austin) Title:  Computational bio-imaging via inverse scattering Video: Click here to view Abstract:  Optical imaging is a major research tool in the basic sciences, and is the only imaging modality that routinely enables non-ionized imaging with subcellular spatial resolutions and high imaging speeds. In biological imaging applications, however, optical imaging […]

Dr. Edward Buckley (Swave) on “Holographic Displays for Augmented Reality”

Speaker: Dr. Edward Buckley, VP of Swave Title: Holographic Displays for Augmented Reality Video: Click here to view Abstract: Swave’s Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) is the first Spatial Compute display technology, delivering lifelike, high-resolution 3D images indistinguishable from reality. Swave’s HXR technology projects lifelike holographic images that eliminate today’s AR/VR/XR challenges of focal depth and […]

Dr. Grace Kuo (Meta): “Towards Holographic AR Glasses”

Speaker: Dr. Grace Kuo (Meta) Title: Towards Holographic AR Glasses Video: Click here to view Abstract:  Holographic displays form images by manipulating the wave properties of light, enabling highly realistic imagery, complete with focal cues and parallax, in a compact form factor. However, despite their promise, holographic displays have yet to become mainstream due to their […]

Prof Rafal Mantiuk(Univ of Cambridge): How the models of spatio-chromatic vision can help us designbetter technology

Speaker: Prof Rafal Mantiuk(Univ of Cambridge) Title: How the models of spatio-chromatic vision can help us designbetter technology Video: Click here to view  Abstract: Imaging and display systems should be optimized for best visual quality rather than for the smallest error in pixel values. Yet, the latter approach still dominates. In this talk, I will […]

Dr. David Fattal (Leia): ” 3D Displays in the Age of AI”

Speaker: Dr. David Fattal (Leia) Title: "3D Displays in the Age of AI" Video: Click here to view Abstract:  3D technology is entering an exciting new era, powered by innovations in display hardware and intelligent software. At Leia, we are pioneering 2D-to-3D switchable screen technology and leveraging AI to convert 2D content into immersive 3D […]

Dr. Jon Barron (Google): “Radiance Fields and the Future of Generative Media”

Speaker: Dr. Jon Barron (Google) Title: Radiance Fields and the Future of Generative Media Video: Click here to view Abstract: In this talk, I will:   1) review recent work from our team on reconstructing and generating 3D worlds using radiance fields,   2) discuss how I think about the different varieties of radiance field […]

Dr. David Susillo (Meta): “A wrist-based surface EMG neuromotor interface for human computer interaction that works across a population”

Speaker: Dr. David Susillo (Meta) Title:  A wrist-based surface EMG neuromotor interface for human computer interaction that works across a population Abstract:  We describe the development of a noninvasive neuromotor interface that allows for computer input using surface electromyography (sEMG). We developed a highly-sensitive and robust hardware platform that is easily donned/doffed to sense sEMG […]
