3D INTERFACES FOR MOBILE DEVICES

The 3D Internet is the next big paradigm change. The change will be first introduced in mobile phones, as the focus of software development is changing from desktops to mobile phones and handheld computers. Intel and Nokia Joint Innovation Center at University of Oulu has started a project called Chiru to explore the mobile 3D Internet in practice.

Jani Pirkola, Research Program Manager, Centre for Internet Excellence, Intel & Nokia Joint Innovation Centre, from the University of Oulu in Finland will present the revolution of user Interface from 2D to 3D, while Mikko Terho, Vice President, Head of Emerging, Professional Solutions Group (PSG) from Nokia, will discuss 3D and Mobile User Interface.

REAL-TIME 3D RENDERING AT ITS BEST

Quality real-time CGI and interactivity demand top photorealistic real-time rendering. Lubosz Podeszwa from NUMENUS will demonstrate its powerful rendering solution and will demonstrate what it can bring to your own images and products.

Olivier Blondel from NVIDIA will then share his company's most recent technological advances and their applications.

 

THE INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL OF THE KINECT MOTION SENSOR, EXEMPLIFIED BY A LEADING-EDGE APPLICATION IN THE MEDICAL FIELD

The launch of Microsoft Kinect has started a veritable tidal wave by giving everyone access to controlling devices and data through motion and voice. Benoit Guerville, Journalist and Conference Moderator, will present an overview of non-game applications already making use of this technology, and how it will impact the way we interact with computers and 3D data.

Then, Drs Lars Christian Ebert and Steffen Ross, University of Bern, Medical Faculty, Institute of Forensic Medicine, Center for Forensic Imaging and Virtopsy, will give an overview of the techniques including Kinect that are currently used for virtual autopsies and crime scene reconstruction as well as an outlook on future developments.

3D PRINTING: MANUFACTURING THE WORLD IN RADICAL NEW WAYS

Benoit Guerville, Journalist and Moderator, will present an overview of how 3D printing technologies are about to radically transform the manufacturing process of many objects, from the simplicity of everyday life items to architectural buildings to the complexity of human organs. It's a revolution akin to the invention of the Gutenberg printing press.
