As the summer semester is slowly winding down, RCOS students are busily trying to complete their projects. With humidity sapping the energy from every source, we (students, instructors) do our best to excel.
This week we had three speakers, the first two being guest speakers.
1) Prof. David Goldschmidt '94 '98' '05 on Advanced Web Sites Developments
2) Prof. Barbara Cutler on Spacial Augmented Reality (Graphics, Architcture and Games)
3) Thomas Chestna - Scrutiny http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/scrutiny/
David Talked about his use of open source software plugins (with firefox) taht help him develop websites cleanly, efficintly. David has been not only using Open Source SOftware tools, he has also devloped open source software during his graduate student days (as an example Java GraphBase - from Knuth's Stanford GraphBase!)
Video of his talk may be found here.
Barb gave a fanatstic tour de force talk on Spacial Augmented Reality (Graphics, Architecture and Games). She and her group have done phenomenal amount of interesting research work. The best thing is that she and her group have implemented most of their work and in the process of making them open source. She and her group have interacted with EMPAC and have done some eye popping demos!
Video of her talk can be seen here:
Finally Tom talked about his scrutiny project. Tom has been mentored by Rob Escriva '10 (and a RCOS alumni). Tom has completed most of the work he has set out to do. The only remaining task to be done is testing and comparing his/their system with MOSS and other plagiarism detecion software.
