Recent Papers


In the second half of the class we are going to focus on recent papers.

Each person will be presenting one paper from the last 3 years. The paper should focus on virtual reality or augmented reality and be from a major peer reviewed conference or journal (VR, SIGGRAPH, VIz, CHI, Presence, TVCG, etc). When you find a paper you like send an email to andy with a link to the paper so it can be OK'd before proceeding. If multiple people ask to present the same paper then the first email to reach andy will be the one that gets a chance to present it.

There will be three paper presentations each day. Each presentation will last 15 minutes and then 10 minutes of discussion.


The presentation slots will be randomized. If you wish to swap slots with another person in the class that is fine as long as you both send Andy an email confirming that you are swapping slots.

We will use SAGE3 to show the papers and any supplementary materials (videos, images, etc) on the classroom wall.

The presenter should create their own materials to present their overview of the paper, that is you can not use the authors slides - you need to create your own. Materials from the authors may only be used as supplementary materials such as videos. The presentation should give information about the authors of the paper, discuss the main contributions of the research, and how it relates to current work in the field, as well as your critique of the work. One way to do this would be to create a set of powerpoint slides (most likely around 15 slides for a 15 minute talk) and then convert them to a pdf file to view on the wall.

Please rehearse your presentation to be sure you are on time. You should fill the allotted time with interesting material without going over time.

Everyone should read all of the papers before class each day, If you are not a presenter on a given day then you should pick one of the papers being presented that day and write the typical 2 page PDF file critiquing that paper. After each talk we will use SAGE3 to drag and drop the related PDFs file onto the wall talk more in depth about what you found in each paper.

We will have a separate SAGE board for each paper so presenters can be adding their materials to their board ahead of time.
