Mosai3DX is a an international event comprising a conference, an exhibition, and

opportunities for networking. Scheduled on Oct 30 - 31 2013, it is hosted at Micro-

soft Research Cambridge.

Our intended audience are users as well as developers of Imaging, Visualisation,

and 3D Digital Graphics systems. This includes researchers in Science and Engi-

neering subjects, Digital Artists, as well as Software Developers in different

industries.

The exhibition demonstrates Visualisation and 3D Graphics products along the

main conference which covers many subjects ranging from graphics hardware

design all the way to the use of specialized applications capable of taking advan-

tage of such features in both desktop and portable devices.

This year, the event is themed around the subject of "Future of Education", encour-

aging delegates as well as exhibitors to collaborate and gain a better understand-

ing of how today's Visualisation and Digital Graphics technologies can help

improve education at all levels. We hope this would lead to developing ideas that

will help us envision a possible future/roadmap for these technologies with

education as a key influencing factor.

Mosaic3DX is a collaboration between the University of Cambridge, Cambridge's

technology news portal Cabume.co.uk, the Cambridge Game Creators Network,

and the Cambridge Creative Network. It is managed by East Tech Media Ltd.

THE GAPOF RAISING AWARENESS

Cambridge is on the brink of turning into a metropolis - no longer a small historic town associat-

ed only with the University. With the on-going expansion and reconstruction of the city and the

unstoppable growth of multinationals in the area, it is already at the point of no return. One can

argue that the last time the UK has seen such concentrated growth was in the second half of the

18th century, during the industrial revolution when cities such as Manchester underwent major

expansions in a relatively short period of time!

But what does this mean? From one point of view the UK might have forgotten how it can benefit

or take advantage of this golden opportunity. From another point of view, in one way or another

everyone in the region will benefit. There will be more jobs in the city, more money, more work-

forces for businesses and it will all reverberate to attract yet more growth; and as with any fast

expansion, there will be new gaps to fill.

You might have heard of the Cambridge Phenomenon; and if you have ever lived here you might

be aware of the sense of connection that everyone feels. No matter in which company one works

or which subject one studies, being in Cambridge at this time means that you are part of the

Phenomenon.

One gap, however, quickly becomes apparent by considering the fact that all this change is still

very obscured to the outsiders. Many who live not too far from Cambridge (say, in London, only a

45 minutes’ drive away) may have never heard of what is going on. Major companies and espe-

cially those that require manufacturing may not think of Cambridge as an opportunity.

This is the gap that triggers a need for raising awareness; and what better way to do so other

than an international event that invites scientists, engineers, developers, artists, entrepreneurs,

and students to meet in one place? An event that has something to offer to everyone.

Mosaic3DX is such an event. It is affordable, it is cutting edge, it is informative, and it does

exactly what the Cambridge Phenomenon requires at this stage: raising awareness.

I invite you to join us in this truly exciting event which, even though in its first year, has already

attracted the eyes of companies such as Microsoft, Broadcom, and Samsung to name a few.

See you on Oct 30 and 31.

Using UndoDB to turn

nightmare bugs into pussy cats

Undo Software's reversible debugger,

UndoDB, allows Linux software developers to

record their program's execution, and then

"wind the tape" back and forth in real-time in

order to get a clear picture of their pro-

gram's execution.

Software bugs that might otherwise have

taken weeks to fix can now be fixed in

minutes. UndoDB works on Linux pro-

grams running on Intel/AMD processors

and (soon) on ARM. UndoDB is used daily

on some of the world's most complex soft-

ware: from scientific computing (NASA, LLNL),

to enterprise (including some of the world's largest

banks) and design automation (including some of the world's

largest EDA vendors). A study by Cambridge University in 2012

found our customers report that UndoDB improves debug-

ging productivity by an average of 26%!

Greg is a software geek at heart, but likes to

keep one foot in the software world and one

foot in the business world. He finds it particu-

larly rewarding to turn innovative software

technology into "real" business development.

Greg has 15 years experience in both academia

and innovative start-up software companies.

His Ph.D. thesis was nominated for the 2001

British Computer Society Distinguished

Dissertation Award. In 2005 he co-founded

Undo Software, which he now runs.

The digital education revolution:a modern case study of an ancient language

Since the early 1990s, the

Cambridge School Classics Project

(CSCP) has invested millions of pounds in

the development of digital technologies

which have revolutionised not on the

teaching of Latin, but, more importantly,

access to learning it. In the decade since

2003, CSCP has used its technology to double

the number of UK secondary schools which offer

Latin (from 600 to 1,200), with the growth almost

entirely in the non-selective state sector. The work not only highlights pos-

sibilities for expanding access to learning in other areas, but also touches

on issues relating to the roles of specialist and non-specialist teachers. In

addition, CSCP is currently developing solutions for US schools which are

abandoning hard-copy, print textbooks in favour of digital-only approaches

- perhaps the future of UK education. This session will both demonstrate

CSCP's digital language learning materials and investigate the poli-

tics, practicalities and pitfalls of using computers to

democratise access to education.

Will's twenty years' experience in Classics

education spans the school, community and

university sectors, including eight years as

Head of Department in a non-selective state

secondary school , teaching undergraduates

at the University of Cambridge Faculty of

Classics and training educators in the UK,

Denmark, Sweden, Italy and the US. Will has

advised schools, local authorities, OfQual,

OfStEd, QCA and the UK Department for

Education on Classics education policy and

practice. In 2012 Will was awarded the UK

Classical Association's prize for services to

Classics.

Relightable Buildings

from Photographs and Beyond

The human perceptual system is the key to

creating effective and believable 3D imag-

ery from photographs. An otherwise accu-

rate model can look "peculiar" if the surface

appears to have the wrong texture, shininess

or roughness. A less accurate model with the

correct surface appearance, on the other hand,

can appear perfectly plausible. In this talk I will

describe recent work at Loughborough University on

creating perceptually high quality 3D reconstructions of real outdoor

scenes. I also outline more recent work to build a material reflectance

acquisition setup, and then discuss how this setup will be used to

study material perception. I will conclude with the requirements for

perceptually validated material models within the automotive industry,

outlined in a recent industry position paper published at the Mate-

rials Symposium at the Eurographics Symposium

on Rendering.

Mashhuda Glencross holds a full faculty

post in the Computer Science department at

Loughborough University (UK). Her research

merges concepts from computer graphics,

computer vision, computational photogra-

phy and visual perception to advance

presentation and practical model acquisi-

tion processes for game content creation,

the built environment and cultural heritage

applications. She is an active member of the

graphics community and has held a number

of committee roles, both technical and

organisational, within ACM SIGGRAPH.

MATLAB: The challenges involved in

providing a high-level language on a GPU

In 2010 MathWorks introduced GPU

support into MATLAB. A seamless inte-

gration required that more casual

users could take advantage of parallel-

ism without learning new programming

concepts; while experienced developers

could also run existing parallel algorithms

from MATLAB. This talk discusses the prob-

lems we faced and the path we took to achieving

these aims, with concrete examples from science

and engineering.

Dr. Joss Knight joined MathWorks UK

in 2012 after 8 years as a research

developer in character animation

middleware. He started as a Consultant

before moving to the Parallel Comput-

ing team, which is based in the UK and

develops MATLAB’s various distributed

computing add-ons. His research

interests include computer vision and

robotics, and he is regularly involved in

outreach to promote the study of STEM

subjects in school.

Using the GPU for Physics

computations via OpenCL

Since the 90's the world of computer games

have used GPUs for rendering graphics, each

year more beautiful than last year. In recent

years GPUs also have been used for physics com-

putations and artificial intelligence. While in games

like "World of Goo" the CPU suffices to show the gamer

realistic movements of the falling structures, a more complex collapse of

a building would only run fluently on a GPU. With a few demo's, code-ex-

amples and example stories, we'll go through the advantages and disad-

vantages of using the GPU for physics. As example language OpenCL is

used, as that works on most GPUs - mobile and desktop. A modern

gamer does not learn tricks as they did in 90's Nintendo-hard games, but

makes calculated risks based on experience. To impress next year's

gamers, a tropical forest should not only look good but also the

leaves should realistically bend and sweep back when

walking through it.

3D Analysis of 2D Video

The advent of new 3D cameras, such as the Kinect

sensor, have built great excitement around 3D

sensing. But there are still many more

conventional cameras in the world than

3D sensors, and there are huge archives

of 2D video. I will show how we can

leverage 2D footage to build impres-

sive 3D models. 3D reconstruction

from images has been a tremendous

success-story of computer vision,

with city-scale reconstruction now a

reality. However, these successes

apply almost exclusively in a static

world, where the only motion is that of

the camera. Even with the advent of

realtime depth cameras, full 3D model-

ling of dynamic scenes lags behind the

rigid-scene case, and for many objects of inter-

est (e.g. animals moving in natural environments),

depth sensing remains challenging. In this talk, I will discuss

a range of recent work in the modelling of nonrigid real-world 3D

shape from 2D images, for example building generic animal

models from internet photo collections.

ARM Mali Developers' Ecosystem

ARM Mali GPUs are leading the

way with GPU Compute, Open GL

ES 3.0 and Open CL enabled pro-

cessors and its growing ecosystem,

which includes free tools and educa-

tional material for developers to learn

how to optimize performance of their mobile or em-

bedded graphics applications as well as improving

the user’s understanding of the graphics

pipeline.

Lorenzo first used ARM technology when,

in 2007, he created a voice-controlled robot

at university. His Computer Engineering

master's thesis was on optimizing a

machine learning algorithm (SVM). He also

developed 2D image processing and

analysis software for neurobiology and

industrial automation applications. He

moved into a new dimension when he

joined ARM in 2011 to work on 3D graph-

ics. He develops analysis tools for improv-

ing the performance of software running

on Mali GPUs.

Light Stage Based Acquisition of High Resolution

Facial Geometry and Appearance

The talk will cover state of the art techniques

for acquisition of facial geometry and ap-

pearance properties under controlled

illumination using a Light Stage. The

first part of the talk will present some

background in facial capture for

image based lighting with a Light

Stage followed by efficient acquisi-

tion of facial geometry and reflec-

tance using polarized spherical gradi-

ent illumination. The talk will also cover

practical ways of measuring layered skin

reflectance including surface and subsur-

face scattering using a small set of measure-

ments under controlled illumination. The talk will

also touch upon how to construct digital faces using such

facial scan data and present some recent results of measuring

skin microgeomtry at the resolution of a few microns for very

high resolution (16K) rendering of skin for

increased realism.

Interactive Character Animation

from 4D Performance Capture

Visual realism remains a challenging goal in char-

acter animation. The use of manually rigged

models with static materials and texture is

widespread in both visual effects and game

production. However this results in a loss of

visual realism compared to the dynamic

appearance of people which can be

observed, for example, in video of perfor-

mance. This talk provides an overview of

research undertaken by the Visual Media

Research Group (VMRG) at Surrey, led by

Prof. Adrian Hilton, tackling the problem of

producing video realistic animated characters

via performance capture. We first outline Sur-

rey's 4D surface capture technology - a next gener-

ation form of performance capture which captures not

only joint movements (as in traditional mocap) but also surface geome-

try such as clothing and hair. When combined with video texture this 4D

data enables high fidelty free-viewpoint replay of performance. We next

describe technology being developed under the EU Framework 7 funded

"RE@CT" project that harnesses this 4D data to generate

interactive animated characters.

Making Sweet, Sweet OpenCL

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are every-

where and the more performance-hungry

and/or power-constrained a platform is, the

more its GPUs are not only used for graphics

but also for general purpose computations

(GPGPU). OpenCL is an open standard that

makes it possible to exploit such heterogeneous

platforms (combinations of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and

memory systems). This talk tells the story of bootstrap-

ping an OpenCL library and gives an overview of what is involved in build-

ing a production quality OpenCL implementation for mobile GPUs. It intro-

duces the OpenCL programming model, an LLVM-based online compiler

for GPUs, a parallel host runtime system, and a device runtime library. The

primary focus of the talk is the integration of these different components

and especially how the compiler-generated code is prepared by the host

runtime for execution. Attendees will gather insights into the internals

of heterogeneous programming platforms and therefore

gain a better understanding how to use and

exploit them.

Bjoern Knafla develops GPGPU

runtimes for future mobile chips at

Codeplay Software Ltd. His background

is in parallelization of games and

game AI. He researched and wrote

articles about data-oriented behaviour

trees. Bjoern is avidly tweeting at

Introduction to

Unity3D

Unity is a very powerful and versatile free

game engine that is easy to get started

with and can build to a variety of

different platforms including desk-

top, web and mobile. In this pre-

sentation I will give an overall

introduction to Unity's editor, how

to set up a simple scene and how

to configure physics, scripts and

shaders. In order to make the

target audience for the presenta-

tion as wide as possible it will not be

covered how to write scripts or shad-

ers. Instead the project used in the pre-

sentation can be downloaded afterwards so

people interested in those areas can take a look

for themselves. The last half hour will be spent on questions where

you are also welcome to ask for input on problems you have

encountered in your own unity development. The presentation

will cover the free version of the engine.

Indie Game

Developer

I am a indie game developer from Denmark. I started

using Unity ever since it became free in 2009 and it has

since been what I have used to develop my own games

with. Over the years I have worked in many different

areas including AI, computer graphics, mobile develop-

ment and general game logic. I often attend game jams

to try out new wacky game ideas and technologies. I

have released a couple of games for mobile and is

currently working on a game for the OUYA game

console. As my bachelor thesis I developed the crowd

game Space Bugz! for cinemas and other public

venues, that allows an audience to play together by

using their smartphones as controllers. This project led

to two articles published in the proceedings to the ACM

approved Academic MindTrek Conference in 2012. The

game was also showcased at Roskilde Music Festival in

Denmark the same year.

Architecture and Function

of Biological Cells

Biological cells of all types show

exquisite levels of spatial organisa-

tion. Even in the absence of

membrane bound organelles,

bacteria and eukaryotic

nuclei have sophisticated

mechanisms to organise

key components. We are

investigating how spatial

organisation of protein

assemblies function to

perform subtle but essential

tasks within cells. Our two

areas of focus are nucleus of

baker's yeast and the signalling

system which allows bacteria to

find their ideal environment. We

combine detailed spatial simulations

and bioinformatics with state-of-the-art

molecular biology and quantitative fluorescent

microscopy to achieve an integrated view of biological phe-

nomena at the micron scale. I will show how visualisation

helps us to make sense of the large amount of data, and to

understand and communicate the underlying

biological principles.

Karen Lipkow heads the Cellular Systems Biology research

group, which has recently moved to the Nuclear Dynamics

Programme at the Babraham Institute. Since 2007, she has

been a Group Leader in the Cambridge Systems Biology Centre

and Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge,

where she is now an affiliated lecturer. She was trained as a

Molecular Biologist, with a Masters project on fly eye develop-

ment at Rockefeller University, New York, and a doctorate on

DNA transposition at the University of Oxford. Having enjoyed

the science, but missing the maths, she switched to Computa-

tional Biology for her postdoc in the group of Prof. Dennis Bray

at the University of Cambridge where she pioneered spatially

detailed models of the E. coli chemotaxis pathway. Her own

research group now combines a variety of experimental and

computational approaches such as modelling, bioinformatics,

quantitative fluorescent microscopy and chromosome confor-

mation capture, to study the interplay of cellular architecture

and function, focusing on chromatin organisation in the yeast

nucleus and bacterial signalling.
