Speech Title: 
Enabling Mobile Spatially Augmented Reality Using IOT Ready Projectors and Cameras
Abstract: 
We have seen a tremendous advancement in the past decade by which we will soon find projectors and cameras everywhere connected with each other and other devices. This talk presents our work-in-progress at the Interactive Graphics and Visualization (iGravi) Lab at UCI on imparting new degrees of freedom and greater user control to create projectors and cameras progressing towards making them IOT ready. This has the potential to enable mobile spatially augmented reality systems in the future where users will have a much greater control over the device resources (e.g. intensity, spatial and spectral resolution, size) and capabilities (e.g. interaction, multi-modal interfaces, connectivity, flexibility, mobility, portability). ​
Bio: 

Aditi Majumder is a Professor at the Department of Computer Science in University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD from Department of Computer Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2003. Her research resides at the junction of computer graphics, vision, visualization and human-computer interaction. Her research focuses on novel displays and camera exploring new degrees of freedom and quality while keeping them truly commodity, easily accessible to the common man. She has won best paper awards in in premier venues of IEEE Visualization 2009, IEEE Virtual Reality 2010, IEEE Projector Camera Systems (PROCAMS) 2010 and 3DTV Conference 2015. She is the co-author of the book "Practical Multi-Projector Display Design". She was the program chair of IEEE Virtual Reality 2011, conference co-chair for ACM Virtual Reality Software and Technology 2007, general co-chair of the Projector-Camera Workshop (PROCAMS) 2005, and the program chair of PROCAMS 2009. She has played a key role in developing the first curved screen multi-projector display being marketed by NEC/Alienware currently and was an advisor at Disney Imagineering for advances in their projection based theme park rides. She has received the Faculty Research Incentive Award in 2009 and Faculty Research Midcareer Award in 2011 in the School of Information and Computer Science in UCI. She is the recipient of the NSF CAREER award in 2009 for Ubiquitous Displays Via a Distributed Framework. She has been a keynote speaker in International Symposium on Visual Computing 2010, Brazilian Symposium on Virtual Reality 2012 and BayArea IEEE Multi-Media Forum 2015. She has published more than 60 publications in premier journals and conferences.
