As 2006 is the 15th birthday of Microsoft Research (MSR), Microsoft Ireland decided to do something to celebrate. So, with the participation of local universities, they have invited a number of MSR speakers to come over and present locally. The first of these presentations is being hosted by the Interaction, Simulation and Graphics Lab in Trinity College Dublin and is due to happen on Wednesday, 6th of September at 7:30 p.m. in the Ernst Walton Theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College Dublin .
Professor Andrew Blake, one of the senior researchers in MSR Cambridge UK will be coming over to give a lecture entitled "Computer Science and Illusion". He promises to explore some connections between visual perception, geometry, and computer processing of images.
The talk is on Computer Vision and Illusion – so it’s geared to a general audience.
