A long-time friend and collaborator at the lab, David Lobser (known for working on projects such as Flock) organized weekly VR-meetups at our lab. (Credit goes to David for the images in this post)These featured talks and demos by local VR artists and engineers, and offered us a chance to connect with the community. The

Recently we are working on a walking simulation. The task is to extract the valid part from an entire walking path. To be clear, an entire walking path is a sequence of pressure images provided by a pressure sensor. Each pressure image is a large image, of which only a small proportion is the valid

The recent explosion of deep learning has demonstrated its awesome power, but data driven machine learning isn’t the end of the story. Machine learning is only one piece of the puzzle, in the future it will just be, as Ken has put it, “like a sine function”, could find use everywhere. It will be used
Description As a combination of Computer Graphics and Computer Vision, 3D reconstruction has been a classic problem for a long time. In recent years, with the development of Deep Learning, more and more researchers are focusing on 3D reconstruction with Deep Learning again. Related Work The number of work focus on 3D reconstruction is increasing

There was a previous blog I wrote about Tobii eye tracking system embedded with HTC Vive. A few friends who are interested in it asked me about my experience with the eye tracking system, so I feel it is good to talk a bit more about it in this blog. There are currently two SDKs

This is my first post here as a new lab member of Future Reality Lab! I’m Adlan Ramly, a graduate student majoring in Integrated Digital Media specializing in Human Centered Design & Research for Emerging Technologies. Previously I interned at The Smithsonian Institution as a Creative Technologist where I worked on ExplorAR: A Collaborative AR

I was asked to give a lightning talk this week, part of a series of lightning talks on related topics. I was told that the talk is to last 15 minutes, and that I can’t use more than five slides. I found this contraint to be highly refreshing. Rather than meander all over the place,
I have been rather concerned recently that major industry players are missing the boat on the potential of virtual reality. This was confirmed for me this past Friday, when I attended an industry panel on the future of VR narrative. To my bewilderment, the panelists described market scenarios and economic models that were, on the

In preparation for the fall graphics class, I have been working on a basic “hand-made” WebGL live shader editor that accepts input from external text editors. The editor interacts with a simple server that checks for file and directory updates. The following video shows me slowly editing the shader on the left using Vim on

Last week, I flew out to Cleveland, Ohio with some others from the NYU CREATE Lab to demo our educational, biological cell builder. On Tuesday of last week, we allowed both middle school students and teachers to try out our science lessons for themselves. For this demo, we were able to make the front end
