FoVI 3D technology lecture to explore light- field displays at Langford

A session on light-field display technology will be presented by Thomas Burnett, founder of [ FoVI 3D] (http://www.fovi3d.com/) , an Austin-based computer hardware manufacturer, and visualization graduate students Christopher Portales and Rathinavel Sankaralingam 1-4 p.m. Thursday, January 24 in the Adams Presentation Space, Langford Architecture Center Building A Room 212 on the Texas A&M campus.

Admission is free for the [Institute for Applied Creativity] (http://creativity.arch.tamu.edu/) -hosted event, and no prior technical knowledge is necessary. Attendees are required to register at [creativity.tamu.edu] (http://creativity.arch.tamu.edu/) . Refreshments will be served.

The event will explore:

• What are light-field displays and why are they important?
• The application agnostic light-field display architecture being developed at FoVI3D.
• General light-field display properties and characteristics such as field of view, directional resolution, and their effect on the 3D aerial image.
• The computational challenge for generating high-fidelity light-fields.
• A display agnostic ecosystem.

The presentation, which will cover the technology, its usage and a demonstration, will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. A question and answer session will follow until 4 p.m. For more information on FoVI 3D and the event’s planned topics, read more on the Institute for Applied Creativity’s [page.] (http://creativity.arch.tamu.edu/news/index.html#fovi3d)
