Speaker: Qi Sun, New York University
Abstract: Extended Reality (XR) offers groundbreaking opportunities for rendering virtual content, sensing physical environments, and precisely tracking human behavior. With the current advancements in display systems and generative AI models, the hardware-software pipeline of XR is poised for transformation. In this talk, I will present our recent research on modeling visual perception and behavior to develop efficient and user-centric XR display hardware, neural rendering, and content generation models.
