Here's the bio for our guest speaker tonight:
Joel Kollin is a PhD student in the UW's DXARTS program. His background
includes a BSE (Electrical Engineering - Optics
Concentration) from the University of Michigan and an
SM from the Spatial Imaging Group at the MIT Media
Lab, where he built the world's first holographic
video system for his Master's thesis project. As a
Research Engineer at the UW Human Interface Technology
Lab he co-invented the Virtual Retinal Display, now a
commercial product called the Retinal Scanning
Display. He has also worked on holographic
interferometry of laser-plasma interaction
experiments, head-mounted and stereographic displays,
and other forms of 2D and 3D imaging.
His current areas of interest include new display
paradigms beyond "3DTV", measuring how observation
changes the state of macroscopic systems, and
examining the interplay between surveillliance,
empathy and the Other.
