Today, Zhenyi and I held our first meeting with the undergraduate interns to demonstrate and discuss the development of our lean-forwards (interactive) MR presentation system (mentioned in some of our lab’s previous posts). The project has several components related to network, avatars, audio, and other areas, and the interns seem excited to start helping with
Sebastian sketched out the timeline for Ken’s research plan for the coming year, in which practically everything we’ve been working on collectively will be combined into an assortment of ambitious projects. Among other items on the agenda, we’re already talking about SIGGRAPH 2019, which, much like the previous project, will have multiple components to it, including
This week, Ken, Zhenyi, and I submitted a technical paper to a major conference. This is the first full technical paper submission on which I’ve been a co-writer. For today’s blog post, I find myself unprepared to go into the details, and I’m not sure whether it’s a good idea to discuss a paper meant
This past week — the first of the new semester at NYU — has been filled with things familiar, yet new. I say “familiar” since I’ve already had the opportunity to continue working on projects at the Future Reality Lab for the past year or so. While I took Ken’s graphics class as an undergraduate,

Note: This post is assumes a little bit (byte) of familiarity with computer science — specifically the binary search tree data structure. As an undergraduate I collaborated with another student (now graduated) to prototype a few computer science-related sketches in Chalktalk. The binary search tree (BST) was our first target, so we made the following

The past week or so has been pretty hectic, so today’s blog post will be brief: a symbol for the little time left before SIGGRAPH 2018 and other deadlines. -The previous Friday we had a board-game night, as sometimes we take breaks; -[redacted] sent a film crew to the lab from Monday through Wednesday to
Ken keeps a digital piano at the available for anyone here to play, and since I joined the lab around a year ago I’ve used it often as a MIDI controller for audio sequencing. I enjoy to compose original music–I go by ear and use samples and synthesizers to approximate the sounds “in my head.”
From the tail-end of my previous post: “Next time (I think): more on this project and “why I am thankful that we have a piano.” I guess this might seem like a curveball, but I need to postpone the music-related post. Today’s post features another session of Chalktalk-related “goings-on.” This week we had another opportunity
I love to work on projects at the lab not only because the space is home to many technological resources for research and software development, but also because it is the meeting ground for intellectual and creative discussions among professors, students, and our collaborators. I find myself most able to “get something done” when I

I’m Karl Rosenberg, a recent computer science graduate from NYU and an incoming PhD student.(Future Reality PhD student?) As I am interested in the application of technology to education, I am excited to work on Chalktalk at the Future Reality Lab. For newcomers, this video demonstrates Chalktalk well. Chalktalk is a presentation and visualization tool in
