Title: It's a Jungle Out There - A 10,000 foot view of the competitive landscape in consumer and professional display markets.
Abstract: While immersed in research or development projects, it is often easy to loose track of what is happening in the markets where display and imaging systems are sold. The presentation will preview a brief overview of how new technology, products and companies are competing in both consumer and professional markets. While the professional markets used to lead in technology, this is changing. How will the new trends in manufacturing, technology and distribution affect these markets?
Bio: Chris Chinnock is the founder and president of Insight Media, the leading market research firm focused on the projection display industry. Insight Media publishes newsletters and reports, organizes conferences and provides custom consulting services throughout all levels of the industry. His background includes a BSEE from the University of Colorado and stints with aerospace and technology companies.
Invited Presentation: Charles Lloyd
Title: Alignment system challenges in the multi-mega pixel display industry.
Bio: Dr. Charles Lloyd is Senior Visual Systems Scientist at Barco Simulation where he serves as the technical lead for the automated alignment system development. Charles received a PhD. in human factors from Virginia Tech in 1990 where he specialized in human vision and display systems. After graduating he worked as a Honeywell scientist researching cockpit display visibility for commercial aircraft. He then worked as a scientist at the Lighting Research Center where he researched the impact of lighting on visual performance with electronic displays. In 1996 Charles developed a new paint inspection lighting system for the Ford Motor Company that was installed in 20 assembly plants in 1997. For this work he won the "Henry Ford Technology Award" for Innovation as well as the "Guth Lighting Design Award" from the Illum. Engr. Soc., , and the "Jack Kraft Innovator Award" from the Human Factors Society. Charles has been at Barco since 1999 where he has worked on projection display systems development for simulation training applications.
Capstone Talk: Perry Hoberman
Title: Seeing through your eyes, projecting through mine: some recent projects
Abstract: Traditionally, the camera has been understood as an analogue of the eye; and typically, we experience moving images as direct representations of the physical world. While it may be obvious that both of these comparisons (camera:eye and image:world) are deeply problematic and flawed, they nonetheless provide a kind of armature on which to speculate about various aspects of vision and experience. As both computer vision and digital projection systems increase in sophistication and decrease in cost, new and compelling configurations of cameras and displays are becoming practical. Among other possibilities, these systems make possible new social, immersive experiences that can be simultaneously tailored to multiple individuals, and they bring to the forefront various disjunctions between representation and the physical world. Ultimately, these systems may allow a radical reinterpretation of the very concept of a "point of view".
Bio: Perry Hoberman is a media and installation artist whose work has been exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. His installation "Timetable" was awarded the Grand Prix at the ICC Biennale '99 in Tokyo, and "Systems Maintenance" won a 1999 Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction."Unexpected Obstacles", a retrospective survey of his work, was exhibited in 1998 at the ZKM Mediamuseum in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2002 he was both a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and a Rockefeller Media Arts Fellow. Hoberman is represented by Postmasters Gallery in New York. Currently, Hoberman is a Visiting Research Professor in the Interactive Media Division at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television.

The title of the panel is "Bridging the Gap: Divergence between procams research in industry and academics".
The panel will discuss how projector-camera research in academics is distinct from industrial R&D and how these communities might better benefit from one another. Although much of the work in the procams community has a practical flavor, many of the ideas expressed in the literature do not ultimately end-up as products. Similarly, the significant challenges facing industry are often not taken into account by the academic community. The goal of the panel, in part, is to address these issues and illuminate new directions for both research and development that will bridge this gap.
Participants are:
- Kurt Hoffmeister, VP of Engineering and Product Development, Fakespace Systems
- Dr. Rajeev Surati, PhD MIT and co-founder of Scalable Display Technology
- Phil Heerman, Sandia National Labs
- Mark Bolas, Fakespace Labs and University of Southern California
- Herman Towles, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
