Seminar "What is the next stage of Augmented Reality", Hirokazu KATO, Japonska (24. 6. 2019)
Profesor Hirokazu KATO bo v ponedeljek, 24. junija 2019, ob 16. uri na Fakulteti za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije Univerze na Primorskem imel predavanje v okviru Ponedeljkovega seminarja. (Predavalnica VP1)
Hirokazu KATO je diplomiral na Univerzi v Osaki na Japonskem leta 1996. Od tedaj je na Univerzi v Osaki in Mestni univerzi Hiroshima. Od leta 2007 dela na Nara Inštitutu za znanost in tehnologijo, kjer vodi Interactive Media Design Lab. Profesor Kato je več kot 15 let preučeval dopolnjeno resničnost. Leta 1999 je razvil knjižnico za sledenje, imenovano ARToolKit, ki je pomembno vplivala na rast raziskav področja. Zaradi svojega dela je leta 2009 prejel IEEE VGTC nagrado za doprinost dopolnjeni resničnosti in nagrado za trajni vpliv na 11. mednarodnem simpoziju IEEE o mešani in dopolnjeni resničnosti (ISMAR) leta 2012.
Povzetek predavanja: "Augmented Reality (AR) has been studied for more than 20 years. Nowadays we can see a lot of AR applications such as PokemonGO. Some people think that AR technologies are almost completed and it has moved to a practical phase. But it is not true because current AR applications are not ideal style of AR. AR researchers still have to make the next breakthrough. In this talk, I would like to introduce my past works on AR and then explain my idea about what AR researchers have to do for the next breakthrough. After that I will briefly talk about my current research works which I am expecting to make the next breakthrough for AR.
