Hello everyone,

as the defense of my master's thesis (to be precise: "Diplomarbeit") finally 
gets closer, I'll have a dry-run

  next Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 11:30

(talk < 30 minutes, but hopefully you have lots of comments).
You don't have to be a specialist in visual tracking (my final audience won't 
consist of specialists either!), and I'll appreciate every bit of feedback!

If you're planning to attend please let me know, so that I can make sure we 
have enough space.
Unless really many people want to come, we'll most likely do it in the 
Four-Eyes Lab trailer next to Phelps (see http://ilab.cs.ucsb.edu/),
but I'll get back to you next week to confirm the location.

Thanks!
 Steffen

Roberto Manduchi from UC Santa Cruz will be visiting UCSB on Friday, giving
a talk in the 2:00pm MAT/CS 595 course (http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/595M). His
research is in algorithms and systems for visual sensor processing, with
applications in assistive technology for the blind and sensor networks. It
should be an interesting talk.

 

Yuan-Fang and Manjunath, please pass this on to your groups.

 

Please let me know if you'd be interested in meeting with Roberto sometime
on Friday (and if so, when you're available). I especially need some people
in the morning (10am-noon).

 

The 2pm talk is in 1132 Frank Hall (CS Conference Room).

 

            Matthew

Message-ID: <c08266280811122236t5ca76dc0vcdf58e066a5c6509@mail.gmail.com>

Hi, all.

I have a question regarding the ffmpeg..
Recently, I have been trying to compile the ffmpeg (version 0.4.9-pre1) on a
Windows machine.
The task is not trivial though :(

Is there anyone who has tried to compile the ffmpeg (version 0.4.9-pre1 or
other version) on Windows ?
It would be helpful if you could provide some guide for me.
Just libaries and dll files would be also good.. :)

I am following this instruction.
http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/wiki/index.php?title=Introduction
But there occurred some errors in compiling. (especially, for 'make'
command)

Any advice would be appreciatd .:)

Thanks.

Message-ID: <09ff01c946a0$5031ea50$f095bef0$@ucsb.edu>

Following Ariadne's thread: Sensing technologies for assisted mobility and
wayfinding without sight

Speaker: Roberto Manduchi; UC Santa Cruz

CS Conference Room, 1132 Frank Hall

 

Abstract: 

 

Blindness and other visual impairments may lead to major functional
limitations in one's daily life. Among other things, loss of sight affects
one's ability to move about independently, especially in an unfamiliar
environment. In this talk I will present some recent work at UC Santa Cruz
using different technologies (computer vision, structured light, radio
beaconing) to support short-range mobility as well as wayfinding for
visually impaired persons. Throughout the presentation, I will try to
highlight the opportunities and pitfalls of research in assistive
technology, and will share some reflections about what it takes to develop a
functional, reliable, usable system with serious hopes of acceptance. 

 

Note: Part of the research presented was carried out in collaboration with
the James Coughlan of the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San
Francisco. 

 

Bio: 

 

Roberto Manduchi obtained his "Dottorato di Ricerca" degree from the
University of Padova, Italy, in 1993. He held position at Apple Computer,
Inc., and at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In 2001 he joined the
faculty at UC Santa Cruz, where he currently is an Associate Professor of
Computer Engineering. His main research area is in the field of computer
vision, with applications to assistive technology for the visually impaired.
His research is currently funded by the NSF and the NIH.

Hi Nuria,

 

I heard you were going there, maybe from Xavier. Congrats!

 

I don't have any students who are at the right point now to do this, but
I'll keep it in mind. I'd love to come and visit sometime.

Hi Matt!

I hope that everything is going well in Santa Barbara. I am writing to you
because I have just moved to Spain to work in a new research lab in
Barcelona (the same lab as Xavier Amatriain). I am going to lead a small
research group to work on Multimedia Data Analysis and Search, Multimodal
Systems, Mobility and HCI. I have openings for internship/postdoc and
research positions. I was wondering if you had any good students who would
be interested in coming to Barcelona for a 3 month internship and some good
graduating students to come for postdoc or researcher positions. 

Of course, if you happen to come to Europe, let me know as it would be great
to host you at the lab. 

Thank you so much! Best wishes from Barcelona,

n

Thanks for agreeing to help me (and Miriam Metzger in Comm.) with our 
Facebook survey.

The survey is now active. It's hosted through surveymonkey.com, and is 
pretty much self-explanatory. The students do not have to enter personal 
information (it's anonymous), and can skip questions or opt-out at any 
time during the process. It should take less than 30 mins to complete....

Students have until Dec 5th to complete the survey. Please urge your 
students to participate. It would be a great help to our project and is 
much appreciated.

Finally, the url of the survey hosted by surveymonkey is quite long, so I 
created a tinyurl for it (it just redirects you to the right site): 
http://tinyurl.com/5s4hcp
Please use this as the survey link.

For your reference, the actual link the tinyurl points to is:

thanks again,

Message-ID: <492DAE94.9010700@cs.ucsb.edu>


CS and MAT will be offering a course on Immersion in Virtual
and Augmented Reality, this winter, taught by Prof. Doug Bowman.
The times are TTh 11-1.  Please see Prof. Bowman's message
below.

I have been told that the course is now available for
registration as CS290I on GOLD as of today, and we are in
the process of getting it cross-listed at MAT.

I hope you'll consider taking it.
Thanks & happy holiday,

	Tobias


--------------------------------

As some of you already know, I will be teaching a graduate course on the 
topic of "immersion" in the winter quarter. The course is now available 
for registration, and will be held on Tuesday/Thursday from 11:00-12:50. 
The theme of the course is to explore the already-known and 
yet-to-be-discovered benefits of increasing immersion (i.e., the level 
of sensory fidelity) in virtual reality and augmented reality systems. 
There will be a project, hopefully based in the AlloSphere, exploring 
whether high-immersion systems can be used to improve typical 
multitasking situations in office work, and perhaps another project 
topic depending on students' interests. We will also attempt to build up 
a comprehensive picture of what we already know about the effects of 
immersion from the literature - something that is sorely needed by the 
research community.

A title and catalog description of the class are given below. I hope you 
will consider signing up for the course.

--Doug Bowman



Immersion in Virtual and Augmented Reality

Students will study and further develop a theory of immersion - 
sensory fidelity - as it relates to virtual reality (VR) and  augmented 
  reality (AR) technologies. The first segment of the course will allow 
  students to build a comprehensive picture of the current state of 
knowledge on the effects of immersion, through a review of the 
literature and the development of a knowledge base of prior 
experiments. In the second half of the course, students will work 
together on one or more novel user studies using the UCSB AlloSphere to 
investigate the effects of immersion on user tasks in VR/AR systems.
