InterView: Enable differing view perception
The problem: In modern surveillance monitoring situationsviewing space is at a premium:

Steve Smith
Possible solution for one case
Common case:
I Many or most situations will have multiple observers
I By multiplexing the output we can make more efficientuse of screen real-estate.
Technology trade-offs:
I Modern PC has an excess of video band-width(60-120Hz is the norm)
I Video capture devices are historically slower (24Hz)
I We can trade-off video output bandwidth for expandedreal-estate
I We are not hardware people, we want to use commodityequipment
InterView andVislab
Steve Smith
Possible solution (continued)
I A multiplexing solution already exists: Stereo viewing
I LCD Shutter systems trade-off framerate for a richerviewing experience
I Frames from stereo viewpoints are multiplexed onalternate frames, and the glasses de-multiplex to theleft and right eyes
I Can we modify the setup so that frames are multiplexedbetween two viewers, not eyes ...

Steve Smith
Our solution: Modified NuVision Stereo System
A modified commodity stereo system:
I Standard PC
I nVidia Quadro4 video-card
I Modified NuVision stereo LCD-shutter glasses
A Demo (It’s easier to see than explain...)

AccessGrid
AccessGrid is a visual collaboration system, likeVideo-Conferencing but flexible and extensible. Vislab is amajor contributor to the project:
I Shared applications, shared desktop
I Low-level system development
I Next generation middleware (XMPP)

LazyScan: 3D Scanning on the cheap
Goal: Develop a 3D scanning technology from commodityhardware, preferably found around the home. Makesextensive use of Computer-Vision techniques.

Honours and TSP Students
We offer projects to some of the brightest students at Usyd:
I Honours projects (Lumino, Geosom).
I “Talented Student Program”: Only available to the top1% of students
I Students produce papers for international conferences
I We’re looking for industry partners for joint supervision.
