| Adrian David Cheok delivered keynote address at the Synthetic Reality conference in Israel |
| Synthetic Reality was a symposium that combines keynote addresses, presentations of research papers, poster sessions, technical demonstrations, an industrial track, and tutorials. The event provided an opportunity for researchers from multiple disciplines to discuss the science and applications of synthetic realities. The seminar featured a packed program of lectures, invited talks, and demos. Adrian David Cheok, the director of the Mixed Reality Lab at the National University of Singapore delivered the keynote address. In his talk, Adrian Cheok described his work introducing touch to VR applications. (Most virtual reality apps are based only on audio and video.) Some of these somewhat controversial applications enable users to pet animals from afar and even experience such physical interactions as hugging or even kissing remotely Organizers: The Advanced Virtuality Lab (AVL), Sammy Ofer School of LINKS: https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/info/201001_SR.shtml |
Professor Pan, Zhejiang University, delivered a presentation about “Virtual Presentation of Product based on VR” on 8 Dec 2006 in NUS.
The talk discussed the state of the art on virtual presentation based on VR, which includes image-based method, and 3D-based presentation. The key technology is exploited, and some examples are discussed, including Virtual Shopping Mall, Virtual Presentation of Textile product (Easy Show), Virtual presentation of mobile phones, and application of the techniques to culture, entertainment park, sight-seeing and historical places.
Professor Masahiko Inami delivered a remarkable presentation on “Multi-Modal Interfaces to enhance Human I/O”, grabbing full attention from the viewers on the 1st March 2007. Several videos were shown to allow the viewers to have a better understanding. There are three main points that Professor Inami brought up in his presentation; Objects for Enhancement, Sensation Enhancement and Communication Enhancement.
Professor Masahiko Inami is a Professor in the Department Engineering and Intelligent Systems of the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo. He was the Winner of Time Magazine for the “Coolest Inventions”.
Before that, on the 28th February, `Professor Inami and his students, Noriyoshi Shimizu went to the Singapore Science Centre to set up the Teddy Bear Robots.
Prof Nakatsu gave a public lecture on “Digital & Interactive Media and Their Future”, which was held at the Engineering Auditorium in National University of Singapore on the 25 Oct 2007. The day before the talk, he came to visit MXR lab to understand in depth on the research that our lab is working.
