The British Film Institute on London’s Southbank will host the 13th annual Conference on Visual Media Production (CVMP) on December 12th/13th. The CVMP conference has established itself as the leading venue for researchers to meet with practitioners in the Creative Industries: film, broadcast and games.
The conference aims to bring together expertise in video processing, computer vision, computer graphics, animation and physical simulation. Keynote speakers this year will include:
- Michael Black, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems
- Diego Gutierrez, University of Zaragoza
- Dan Winn, YouTube VR
- Mark Ardington, Double Negative Visual Effects
Conferences like CVMP highlight the leading role British Engineering has within the Creative Industries.
Engineers have a huge impact on driving forward the technologies used in video games, broadcast and film.
Recent breakthroughs in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality made possible by computer-scientists are already transforming the ways film and games are made.
