Web3D 2007 Preliminary Program

Keynote:

Dr. Kari Pulli is a lead developer of mobile computing graphics technologies such as OpenGL ES, M3G, and Open VG. He is a Research Fellow at Nokia Research Center in Palo Alto where he heads a research team. During 2004-2006 he was Visiting Scientist with the Computer Graphics Group at MIT. Dr. Pulli gave recent courses on OpenGL ES and M3G at SIGGRAPH 2005 and Eurographics 2006.

Keynote: Mobile Visual I/O

Abstract
Mobile devices are the new frontier in computation, internet connectivity, imaging, and computer graphics. For many people it provides their first computer of any kind. For example in China there are about 100 million PCs but over 400 million mobile phones. And the sales of camera phones far surpass the number of digital or any other types of consumer cameras.
The visual capabilities of these devices have progressed at amazing pace, and today the high-end smart phones have large color screens, fast CPUs, even dedicated graphics HW acceleration. We will cover the short history of mobile 3D graphics, and introduce recent mobile graphics standards such as OpenGL ES, M3G, and OpenVG; these provide visual output. In recent years photography and graphics have begun to move closer to each other, we will also briefly discuss computational and contextual photography and augmented reality as fertile research topics; these provide visual input.
