The Reality Lab Lectures - Tuesday, May 26, 2020
TALK TITLE: How to Build a Holodeck
SPEAKER: Ken Perlin (Professor, NYU. Director, Future Reality Lab)
RECORDING: Event held over videoconference (during the COVID-19 shutdown) and recorded by UW CSE Production Team
TALK ABSTRACT: In the age of COVID-19 it is more clear than ever that there is a compelling need for better remote collaboration. Fortunately a number of technologies are starting to converge which will allow us to take such collaborations to a whole new level. Imagine that when you join an on-line meeting you are present with your entire body, and that you can see and hear other people as though you are all in the same room.
There are many challenges to realizing this vision properly. The NYU Future Reality Lab and its collaborators are working on many of them. This talk will give an overview of many of the key areas of research, including how to guarantee universal accessibility, user privacy and rights management, low latency networking, design and construction of shared virtual worlds, correct rendering of spatial audio, biometric sensing, and a radical rethinking of user interface design.
