How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Silvester Czanner (糖心TV): High-Fidelity Environments and Applications
CS1.01

Abstract: In the first part of the talk Kurt will present some of the methods being used to achieve realistic graphics in real time. Realistic image synthesis requires computationally intensive solutions typically computed by a process termed ray tracing which computes the interaction of packets of photons, termed rays, within an environment. By using a combination of approaches we show how we can reduce the computational cost of rendering realistic images to close to real time. We will demonstrate methods for improving performance that are based on computing only aspects of the computation that are deemed important, re-using computation from current and previous frames within interactive environments and making use of available hardware.
 
In the second part Silvester will introduce a novel solution for Virtual Reality - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy based on Virtual EgoCentric Holistic Environments. This is an alternative to the classical virtual environments (VEs) currently used and it is built on acquired user based information. The high-fidelity system is accompanied with several important attributes which will stimulate the human senses such as vision and hearing.
An intensive study of these senses is leading us to answer an important question, what level of realism is required to provide effective immersive experience for the end users. We will demonstrate the potentials of the virtual egocentric holistic environments on three projects: virtual reality for the efficient treatment of infants with feeding difficulties, virtual reality therapeutic intervention for social anxiety and virtual reality for treatment of flying ants phobia.
All these projects are multi-sensory and require visuals and audio to provide an appropriate level of realism.
