Prof talk: Making the Switch: Going from 2D to S3D - STC 0020

by Computer Science Club

Hi all, We will be having our second prof talk of the term with Lesley Istead, on April 5, 3:30 pm in STC 0020. She will be talking about the problems faced, and algorithms used in the film industry to go from 2D to S3D. Come listen to the talk and enjoy some free food! ====== Abstract: ====== For the last 10 years, most blockbusters have been released in both 2D and stereoscopic 3D. The move from 2D to S3D is non-trivial and involves many new algorithms and technologies. But there are still many problems to be solved and many improvements that can still be made. In this talk, we will explore artifacts of traditional 2D photography, methods to represent them comfortably in S3D, and their meaning in a 3D world. Aditya Thakral AVP Computer Science Club

Craig Kaplan - Prof Talk @ Mar 20, 4 PM && CSC and WiCS Movie Night

by Computer Science Club

Hi all, We will be having out first prof talk of the term with Professor Craig Kaplan, on March 20, 4 pm in PHY 150. An abstract of the talk is given below. CSC and WiCS are also having a movie night on March 21, 6 pm to 8 pm in MC Comfy. Both the events are open for all. (including nonmembers) Details for both the events follow. ========== Prof. Talk ========== Abstract: Animated Tilings By slowly varying the shapes of tiles in a tiling, it's possible to create fun and interesting abstract animations. Many of these animations are a good fit for the genre of looping mathematical GIFs that proliferate in social media. In this talk, I'll introduce a few core concepts from tiling theory and then discuss techniques for constructing tilings that evolve in space or in time. ==================== CSC and WiCS Movie Night ==================== Join us and bring all your friends to CSC & WiCS' movie night! We will be showing your fave tech-related movies and serving some delicious snacks. Aditya Thakral AVP Computer Science Club
