Der Forschungsbereich Erweiterte Realität (Augmented Vision) des DFKI Kaiserslautern veranstaltet vom 21.-25.02.2011 gemeinsam mit dem Instituto Stela in Florianópolis einen Workshop im Rahmen des von BMBF geförderten „Deutsch-Brasilianischen Jahres der Wissenschaft, Technologie und Innovation 2010/11“. Im Tätigkeitsfokus der beiden international renommierten Institutionen stehen die Entwicklung innovativer Informationssysteme sowie der rasche Technologietransfer ihrer Forschungsergebnisse in die Praxis unter anderem in Form von Spin-offs.
Der Workshop soll einen Beitrag dazu leisten, den bestehenden Kontakt zu intensivieren, neue Kontakte in diesem wissenschaftlichen Kontext zu knüpfen, Felder für gemeinsame Forschungsvorhaben zu identifizieren und diese vorzubereiten sowie den Austausch von Wissenschaftlern zu initiieren.

The international network GraphicsMedia.Net has been founded on 16.12.2010 in Kaiserslautern. It consists of six prestigious research organizations, which collaborate in the area of computer graphics, computer vision and interaction. As an unique virtual international institute, it bundles an incredible large set of competences and strengthen the position of each member in its local and national environment.
The Augmented Vision research group gets a Google Research Award for developing technologies in the area of new media and interactive video. The award supports the very promising work started in the area of object tracking and video processing. More coming soon…!
More than 50 newspapers articles, radio and TV reports have been published over the last two months. On 02.09.2010 PAMAP is demonstrated at the multimedia congress of the region and became the eye-catcher of the exhibition.

Intel Labs has created an experimental “Single-chip Cloud Computer,” (SCC) a research microprocessor containing the most Intel Architecture cores ever integrated on a silicon CPU chip – 48 cores.
Our Sensor and Computer Vision Library ARGOS has been designed to support such on coming (multi-core) hardware and best fits the SCC approach. Our proposal has been retained and we are proud to get access to the novel and unique SCC hardware.
