reality surveillance, ” Senthil responds. “ Those people work on these omnidirectional cameras so standard computer vision typically doesn’t work. You need specialist algorithms. They will find this workshop especially relevant and interesting. ” “ Virtual reality as well, ” Marc adds. “ Anyone interested in virtual experiences will really want to hear from our speakers. We have Dr Christian Richardt, who is giving a talk about casual 360° VR.
