SUMMARY:Conference - 2020 Real-Time Conference FREE & Online
DESCRIPTION:As you may know\, over the last couple of years\, we have been working hard to put together a one-of-a-kind event that would gather cross-industry pioneers from around the globe\, and bring to you the most advanced real-time tools\, technologies and practices that are changing the way we live and do business. \nBy this time\, we should have been polishing the last details with our venues\, preparing signs\, printing out programs and badges\, sending you directions… But 2020\, it seems\, has decided otherwise. \nStill\, we know that this community has the power\, even – or maybe especially – in this disruptive time\, to transform our practices and maintain communication across industries – together and in real-time. After all\, digital agility is part of our DNA here at RealTime Conference\, as we have been working with a 100% remote community from day 1. Since the COVID-19 pandemic thwarted our original plans for trans-Atlantic convenings\, connected in real-time\, we have been working relentlessly to pivot to bring you a 100% virtual RealTime Conference\, without sacrificing the richness of our program\, and remaining as engaged and interactive as possible. And we are grateful to have been blessed with such a supportive community of partners\, speakers\, and collaborators that is the RealTime family. \nIn the spirit of fellowship\, community\, solidarity\, and faith in the future\, we are waiving all registration fees\, and invite you to join us\, at no cost\, at the RealTime Conference in real-time online. \nThis is your opportunity to connect\, learn\, and share with leaders and cutting-edge innovators who are forging the future of real-time engagement. You may be under the impression that real-time technology only impacts a few industries\, but our incredible RealTime family\, featuring top-tier speakers from companies such as Intel\, Epic Games\, Google\, Facebook\, Adobe\, Activision\, Foundry\, Weta Digital\, Magnopus\, Spatial\, Daimler\, 3Lateral\, Oculus VR\, Digital Domain\, Pixar\, and more… will be sharing with you extraordinary real-time’s enabling technologies and present-day applications on their own infrastructure\, business\, and resources. Topics will touch on everything from “Crafting Real and Virtual Architecture in Real-Time” and “Fostering Customers Engagement Though Real-Time Interactive Experiences” to “Bringing Real-Time Pipelines to Movie Making” and “The Real in Real-Time Photoreal Digital Humans”. \nLast\, but not least\, a panel will address a sensitive topic as of today: “How to address the current climate and what studios\, producers and companies could do to combat this in the future by making the most of real time technology”. \nWhile we are still tweaking the hows & abouts of this online conferencing\, please bear with us\, and  check our website for updates!! We’ll be back soon with more details as to how to register and a full program of keynotes and panel discussion.

SUMMARY:Deep learning and the Covid-19 learning curve
DESCRIPTION:Framestore have been ever so kind as to include us with an invite to their deep learning talk on Covid-19. It is being hosted on Zoom this Thursday and is open to all VES members worldwide. Please find the link to the zoom invite below (you must be logged in to see it). \nSo much about Covid-19 is still unknown\, even after months of astonishing global research. In this informal talk\, I’ll describe how the open source deep learning community is trying to help answer the urgent need for fast\, accurate\, inexpensive Covid-19 population screening in mobile\, urgent and primary care settings. I’ll discuss designs for a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for Covid-19 detection\, but also I hope to show that each move forward with the deep learning tools we’re making bumps headlong into broad\, unanswered questions. Specifically\, I’ll suggest the unexpected importance of the effort towards serological tests for those without symptoms\, identifying individuals who have developed an immune response by overcoming a Covid-19 infection. \n \n\nKevin Cain Bio:\nAiming to cross-pollinate computer vision with traditional archaeological techniques\, Kevin Cain heads the non-profit organization INSIGHT based in California. Kevin has also founded technology companies including Photon Factory\, Smart Picture Technologies\, and most recently plexus3D. Kevin has organized digital cultural heritage projects in collaboration with the American Research Center in Egypt Egyptian Antiquities Project (Cairo)\, the Egyptian Antiquities Dept. of the British Museum (London)\, the Metropolitan Museum’s Egyptian Art Dept. (New York)\, and the American Museum of Natural History (New York)\, the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Smithsonian Museums in Washington D.C. Kevin launched and directed the MFA Department of Computer Art at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
