    IMMERSE Seminar- Shuang Zhao: Physics-Based Differentiable and Inverse Rendering

    Physics-based inverse rendering aims to recover scene parameters with the presence of complex light transport effects such as soft shadow and inter-reflection. Solving these problems using analysis-by-synthesis requires the use of differentiable rendering methods that estimate how the rendering of a scene alters with respect to differential changes of the scene.

    IMMERSE Seminar - Mike Yao: Immersion as a Lens: Using VR to Understand Human Experienc

    Virtual reality (VR) and immersive media provide a unique experimental space for testing and extending psychological and communication theories. In this talk, I’ll walk through how immersive environments have been used to study human experience—not only as platforms for message delivery, but as media with their own psychological effects.
