Computer Vision News - May 2022

21 Ana Serrano work, but you also go there tomeet people, to have fun, to know the places. They were great experiences. What was the most fun of all your adventures? This is actually on the last year before I started my PhD, at CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research. I was there doing my first internship ever, before I started research. I didn’t know what I was doing. I had great fun! We weren’t supposed to, but we did it. You could go under the research facility. There were a lot of tunnels. We used to gather there to discuss things and have fun. I come from Zaragoza, which is not a huge city, and I’ve managed to come to CERN. I am now discussing with all these great people and having fun underneath the research facility at, I don’t know, 10 pm! That was amazing! This is the internship I probably enjoyed most, not in terms of research, but it was the first time I was like, “ Whoa! I’m here! ” I’m meeting great people! I’m at this amazing place!  because augmented reality has a social component. Think at Pokémon Go, a game that had a boom like two or three years ago. It was great! You would go in the street and see an old lady buying groceries. She would come out with groceries, on her phone, chasing Pokémon! This is great! Everyone enjoys it. It has a social component. You gather with people. I am interested in augmented reality as a consumer, but I would also like to work on this!  One thing that strikes me is how many internships you have had. I would definitely recommend it. I enjoyed it, and I benefited a lot from many perspectives. One thing I learned is how to work with many different people in many different environments with other supervisors. It’s great to adapt to all those situations. I learned from all of this. I also got to know all these great people from Stanford, Max Planck, and Adobe Research. It also helped me decide what I wanted to do, whether I wanted to go to academia or industry. That helped me a lot. I also had a lot of fun. I have always wanted to travel since I was very young. You go there to IEEE VR Japan Switzerland United Nations
