PhD Seminar • Human-Computer Interaction • Conductor: Intersection-Based Bimanual Pointing in AR and VR

Please note: This PhD seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

Futian (Caesar) Zhang, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisors: Professors Jian Zhao, Keiko Katsuragawa

Pointing is an elementary interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments, and, to effectively support selection, techniques must deal with the challenges of occlusion and depth specification. Most of the previous techniques require two explicit steps to handle occlusion.

Seminar • Systems and Networking • Ledgers, Machines, and Markets

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1302.

Yaron Minsky, Jane Street

The rise of blockchain has led to a renewed interest in the use of ledgers as a basic data-structure for building distributed systems.
