    Prof. David SalesinUniversity of WashingtonTitle: Unleashing the Computer's Potential for CommunicationAbstract: In this talk, David Salesin claims that the real market for PCs lies in their vast potential as a communications medium. Already, millions of PowerPoint presentations are made each day, hundreds of thousands of documents are archived on line, and literally billions of web pages are searched. Yet, so far, computers are used largely just to emulate the appearance of existing, physical media, such as slide transparencies or 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of paper. Drawing upon examples that range from computer-generated illustration and virtual cinematography to adaptive document layout and animated presentations, David discusses some of the research challenges he sees in harnessing the power of the computer to create more powerful communications media than exist today. Biography: David Salesin is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington and is also a Principal Scientist in the Advanced Technology Labs at Adobe Systems. Salesin's research interests are in computer graphics and include digital photography and video, automatic design & presentation of information, non-photorealistic rendering, visualization, image-based rendering, digital typography, and color.Hosted by Prof. Karen Liu
