Seminar • Systems and Networking • Large-scale Environmental Sensing of Remote Areas on a Budget

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

Jörg Liebeherr, Professor
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto

By enabling large-scale in-situ environmental monitoring of remote areas, the Internet-of-Things (IoT) can play a crucial role in quantifying and responding to climate change. Sensing of uninhabited and many rural regions creates a need for inexpensive battery-powered IoT systems that can be deployed across large areas. Today, such systems are woefully unavailable.

PhD Seminar • Algorithms and Complexity • Shortest Beer Path Queries in Interval Graphs

Please note: This PhD seminar will take place in DC 1304 and online.

Kevin Wu, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Ian Munro

Our interest is in paths between pairs of vertices that go through at least one of a subset of the vertices known as beer vertices. Such a path is called a beer path, and the beer distance between two vertices is the length of the shortest beer path.

PhD Seminar • Human-Computer Interaction • Conductor: Intersection-Based Bimanual Pointing in AR and VR

Pointing is an elementary interaction in virtual and augmented reality environments, and, to effectively support selection, techniques must deal with the challenges of occlusion and depth specification. Most of the previous techniques require two explicit steps to handle occlusion.
