CSE590M Virtual and Augmented Reality Seminar

This interdisciplinary reading group focuses on recent research development in virtual and augmented reality. The goal of the seminar is to bring together researchers from different areas of computer science in order to gain familiarity with the various research challenges involved in this field.

Organization

Each week will feature a different subfield and two people will be asigned as discussion leads. Discussion leads will choose a paper for the week and prepare a short (~15 minute) overview of the research challenges in that field. They will then lead a discussion of the paper.
