SUMMARY:Immerse UK x Imagination Virtual Production Series
DESCRIPTION:Between November 2021 and February 2022\, Immerse UK and Imagination will be joined by industry experts in a series of panel discussions and thought-leadership pieces exploring the impact of virtual production and real time content production\, each from a different perspective. \nJoin the organisers as they explore virtual production through three different lenses\, including; \nThe Future of Content\nThe benefits and impact of using a real time workflow to create content. \nThe Future of Live Experiences\nThe emerging advantages\, and challenges\, of using real time content for live experiences. \nDigital Transformation in real time\nExploring what is required to embrace realtime technologies and workflows into your organisation. \nAbout Virtual Production\nVirtual Production is more accurately described as real time content production; The process by which digital objects and environments are generated in real time using video games engines such as Unreal and Unity. The same technology that immerses you in living\, breathing\, photorealistic gaming worlds\, is now being used by filmmakers\, storytellers\, marketers and even product designers\, opening up limitless creative possibilities. \nAbout the Series\nThis series aims to demystify the technology and dig into the practical applications\, and structural\, business and cultural impact of this incredible new world\, which is and will continue to transform industries in much the same way that cloud computing and the Internet before it. \nHear from industry experts and thought leaders at the forefront of Virtual Production\, as they guide you through the latest techniques and possibilities in this exciting new space.

SUMMARY:NI Science Festival - Turing Talk 2022: A Day in the Life of a Smart City with Prof Julie A. McCann
DESCRIPTION:Part of the IET EngTalk and BCS Lecture Series \nWith the recent COP26 held in Glasgow\, sustainability and climate adaption is on everyone’s minds. The main outcome of this has been an agreement to strengthen 2030 targets by the end of 2022. This talk will discuss the role of the Internet of Things\, specifically sensor-based technologies\, in both providing data to better understand resource usage for optimization and reduction\, as well as providing ground truths to track those targets are being met. To do this this technology needs to be embedded in our transport\, our factories\, our homes even\, and with this brings a new set of challenges around privacy and security. Indeed\, such systems are core to building the Digital Twins that drive decision making\, but what happens when such systems go wrong? Prof Julie A. McCann will explore this and potential solutions to such scenarios and will illustrate where the technologies are heading with a future look. \nAbout \nProfessor Julie A McCann heads up Adaptive Emergent Systems Engineering (AESE) in the Dept of Computing where she works with a highly multi-disciplinary group of Post Docs and PhD students from a broad spectra of backgrounds. She leads the Resilient and Robust Infrastructure challenge part of the Data Centric Engineering theme in the Alan Turing Institute\, she is PI for the NRF funded Singapore Eco Cities initiative\, and is Deputy Director of PeTraS and therein leads the Logistics 4.0 project with the Tate Modern\, ARM and Ordinance Survey. She is Imperial PI for the EPSRC Science of Sensing Systems Software (S4) programme grant. Until recently she was the Co-director of the Intel Collaborative Research Institute on Sustainable Connected Cities\, the Co-PI of the NEC Smart Water Lab\, and Director of the cross-Imperial Smart Connected Futures Network. \nShe has chaired and remains actively involved with the field’s top conferences (including Infocom\, Sensys\, IPSN\, and EWSN) and is an Associated Editor for IoT-J. She currently delivers the Pervasive Computing teaching module and in the past she lectured Operating Systems courses. She was chair of the Department of Computing Equality and Diversity committee (2018-2021)\, is a Fellow of the British Computer Society\, a Chartered Engineer and consults on computer-based futures for TV and Film .
