Abstract: The Workshop on Cinematic VR and Immersive Storytelling will bring together engineers and artists who are using VR technology to create compelling stories, be they fictional and cinematic or non-fictional and journalistic. We will hear from people who are using stereo imaging and depth cameras to capture and build virtual realities. We will learn how sound light field capture and synthesis can be combined with stereo imagery to represent the information that humans experience. We will discuss the challenges in the design of VR headsets and sensor-based human interfaces to recreate perceptual experiences. And we will hear from the people who are using these new technologies in innovative ways to create immersive experiences and share compelling stories. There will be an interactive demo session that will allow participants to take virtual trips to places in the world they have never been and to view the world through the eyes and ears of another person. Hear from the people who will tell you that we are at the threshold for a new way of creating, experiencing and sharing stories.

June 16, 2015 9:00 am to June 17, 2015 5:15 pm

Abstract: The convergence of connectivity, bandwidth, and technology improvements is rapidly expanding entertainment distribution over the web to the living room, mobile, and beyond. Often scoffed at as an inferior entertainment platform, the web is now poised to leapfrog traditional distribution mechanisms, because of the rapid pace of innovation and ability to upgrade with a software download. The concept of this conference is to explore the “old”, the “new”, and the “future” in the context of the technology requirements for delivering a compelling entertainment experience over the web. Is traditional media in danger of being overrun? Find out by joining us for this 2 day event on the beautiful Stanford campus where technical, creative, and ecosystem experts will explore how the Internet is changing entertainment and provide context to help understand technology and application trends. A must attend for engineers, creatives, and researchers focused on future of entertainment over the Internet.

February 12, 2015

Abstract: We invite you to join us on February 12, 2015 at Stanford University to explore a new area of research, education and product development in Light Field Imaging.

The Workshop on Light Field Imaging will present a summary of the state-of-the-art and a glimpse into the future of technologies designed to capture and create light rays in a three dimensional scene. Participants will leave with a better understanding of the concept of a light field as it is used in geometric optics, computer vision, computer graphics and computational photography. The Workshop will include talks that summarize recent advances in light field cameras and light field displays, as well as applications of these technologies in entertainment, consumer devices, industrial applications and medical imaging. The Workshop will also include a panel discussion with experts from industry and academics addressing questions about the killer applications and challenges in product development, new areas for research and graduate training, and the future of light field imaging and how we get there. The panel discussion will be followed by a demo session that will include presentations by research labs and startup companies.

June 17, 2014 9:00 am to June 18, 2014 5:00 pm

Abstract: It wasn’t that long ago that entertainment technology was the purview of Hollywood and traditional broadcasters. Today, with the convergence of bandwidth and media technology coupled with consumer interest, everyone can be a producer/director resulting in a surge in media distribution over the web. Millions of consumers have switched from subscription pay television to relying solely on web services for their entertainment.

Through engaging panel discussions and presentations, with ample opportunity for audience participation and networking, the ETIA conference will examine topics including content creation, distribution, and monetization, as well as technical tools and solutions for shaping the user experience.

The “Exploration Zone” will include technology pioneers in kiosks presenting technologies to enable the Entertainment Holodeck concept. The Exploration Zone opens simultaneously with reception so attendees can eat, drink, discuss, and peruse the future at their leisure.

The topic for the evening event is "The Holodeck: Entertainment for the Next Generation" featuring Bing Gordon (KPCB), Dave Singhal (Light Field Interactive), David Cohen (Variety), Paul Debevec (USC ICT), Katie London (Microsoft Research) and Jon Peddie (Jon Peddie Research).

June 18, 2013 to June 19, 2013

Abstract: Entertainment technology development and content deployment has historically been the purview of Hollywood and traditional broadcast media. However, rapid convergence of technology improvements in connectivity, bandwidth, and media processing coupled with consumer interest has caused a surge in media distribution over the web.

Produced by the Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers in partnership with the Stanford Center for Image Systems Engineering, this 2 day conference at the beautiful Stanford University campus will explore the tech, creative, and biz requirements for delivering a compelling, high quality, monetizable entertainment experience over the web covering 4 aspects of the ecosystem and include an evening event with keynote speaker(s).
