TEDxKL will be held on 8 August 2015 at Putra Indoor Stadium, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur with the Theme: Infinity ∞ Beyond.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, it is a platform for spreading ideas and promoting discourse. This year, TEDxKL has invited an array of unique speakers and here is a little scoop on the presenters at the event.

Inventor and Professor of Pervasive Computing Adrian Cheok

Why you should listen

In case you’re wondering what pervasive computing is, it’s the concept of inserting microprocessors into everyday objects to communicate information. Think Iron Man and the way he can make gestures to use the computer instead of a standard mouse and keyboard.

Interested? You should be! Prof. Adrian Cheok, who is currently the Director of the Mixed Reality Lab based in Singapore, has been researching on integrating mixed reality, human-computer interfaces, and embedded systems amongst other things.

An Editor/Associate Editor of many academic journals in the field, Prof Adrian Cheok has been conferred a myriad of awards including the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (ASTAR) Young Scientist of the Year Award and the Singapore Computer Society Young Professional of the Year Award. A receiver of the prized Hitachi Fellowship, he was also awarded Microsoft Research Award for Gaming and Graphics.

Adrian Cheok Keynote Speaker at ARea Conference 2015, Turku, Finland

Keynote Speech at ARea 15 : Everysense Everywhere Communication

11 – 12 June, Turku, Finland

This talk outlines new facilities that are arising in the hyperconnected internet era within human media spaces. This allows new embodied interaction between humans, species, and computation both socially and physically, with the aim of novel interactive communication and entertainment. Humans can develop new types of communication environments using all the senses, including touch, taste, and smell, which can increase support for multi-person multi-modal interaction and remote presence. In this talk, we present an alternative ubiquitous computing environment and space based on an integrated design of real and virtual worlds. We discuss some different research prototype systems for interactive communication, culture, and play.

About ARea

ARea is the most exciting augmented reality conference in Finland! In 2015 the fourth consecutive event will be held in Turku and hosted by Technology Research Center’s Mixed Reality research group. The theme in 2015 is augmented reality in culture & travel. The two day event consist of a workshop, seminar and an expo.

Speaker at Dialogos de Cocina 2015

Posted on March 14, 2015 by Emma Zhang

Adrian Cheok was a speaker at Diálogos de Cocina 2015 in San Sebestian, Spain. His talk, “Machines that produce emotions”, discusses experiences with new technologies in gastronomy and design of new interfaces.

The talk was followed by a dialogue with Adrian, INHEDIT, Mario Sandoval and Paco Morales on the uses of technology in dining experiences.

What is Diálogos de Cocina?

Kitchen Dialogues is a project that arose in 2007, in order to create a biennial International congress which aims to build new bridges of multidisciplinary knowledge. It is an observatory which gathers the most prestigious experts in the world who, in a relaxed and informal environment, generate a space for reflection where creative synergies are built.

Since it began, the international organisation of chefs, Euro Toques, made up of more than 3,500 chefs from 18 countries, has collaborated in the organisation of the event. Likewise, in 2010, the recently created BCulinary Center, Faculty of Gastronomic Sciences and Research and Innovation Centre for Food and Gastronomy, will join the project.
