  1. The Visualization Brazilian Network Bruno Feijó VisionLab/PUC-Rio

  2. Some Pioneer Results – Brazil • Computing • Broadcast Production • Electronic Systems: Banking, Voting • Software Engineering (LUA, Agents, ...) • Visualization in early 80’s: TV Globo • Computer Graphics in the Broadcast Industry • Developments with a Spin-off: PDI • First in Television Drama Technology • First to use 1-inch videotape in outdoor shootings • Partnership with Sony • First Outdoor Blue Screen (early 90’s)

  3. The Concept Of Visualization • It is more than data visualization and Virtual Reality applications • Visualization as visual simulation of processes and environments with a technological basis shared by several strategic sectors • Game = cinema = TV = simulator = … • Strategic Macrosector • Digital Content Production, Broadcast, Cinema, Oil, Games, Defense, …

  4. VisualizationFuture scenario • Computational Holography • Entertainment, Defense, Communication, Education • Artificial Intelligence • Ultra-Definition (4K, 8K, …) • Water • The Connection Point • A single point with information, education, entertainment, communication, and services – ...visual

  5. Visualization Brazilian NetworkRBV • Strategic development policy – Minister of Science and Technology • A network of intelligence connecting industry and academy • Research, Development and Innovation • Goals: To organize the visualization sector and to promote innovation in order to increase competitiveness • Structured by competences

  6. Economic Cluster (Pole) RBVCurrent Competences Strategic Kernel – RBV JPessoa Digital Production Pole of Olinda Pole of Games - PortoDigital 1 PE: [1] Games and Simulation (UFPE) 3 2 4 [2] Broadcast and Digital Content Prodution (PUC-Rio) Rio: [3] Energy, Gas, and Oil (UFRJ) 5 SP: [4] Industrial (USP) RG: [5] Security and Defense (PUC-RS) Rio VisionLab/PUC-Rio Lamce/UFRJ University Labaligned With R&D&I&Business Pole Rio Cine&Video UFRJ Technological Park (under construction)

  7. The Model Of Regional Integrated Axis Strategic Kernels: clusters of intelligence executing National Strategic Projects National Strategic Projects: Global projects involving more than one Competence and having economic feasibility Specific Project: Isolated project belonging to a Competence International organisms National Development Bank Government Sectors Strategic firms Mechanism for Economic Feasibility Sub-network (capilarity) Incubators R&D Lab (University) Cluster of Production and Business P&D Market R&D Training Services New Products Studios to rent Clusters and Motion Capture Offices for resource allocation Production system support Representatives of agencies for development Infrastructure for technical support Pilot Axis VisionLab-PoleRio Digital Production Commission Key Concepts: • Local Productive Clusters • Strategic firms - Logistics - Resource equalization - Management uniformity - First organizing, financing later Conection to other networks and groups of excellence through inductions or projects in consortium

  8. VisionLab/Pole Rio VisionLab Pole Rio Cine&Video VisionLab Campus PUC-Rio, Gávea Studios & VisionLab Firms ( 100) Business Center Studios VisionLab Expansion Area

  9. R&D And Innovation In RBV • Emerging and developing country • Low- cost high technology • Simplicity • Cross-functional development • Between sectors or companies • Focus on processes • Secrecy versus patent • Secrecy, short life cycle, and steps ahead • Research papers and product documentation

  10. VisionLab R&D&I

  11. Reconstruction and Simulation

  12. Reconstruction and Simulation

  13. Special Effects 3x cheaper and 2x faster Realistic Simulation through time VisionLab for BAND/NBP/RTP (Portugal) Acident Simulation for TV Drama (3D models + image) VisionLab for NBP/RTP (Portugal) 3D model

  14. Low Cost Touch Screen Interface camera Low cost High speed High accuracy No sound sensors Array of infrared LEDs projector acrylic Platform: Windows Media Encoder .Net plastic film

  15. IPTV Experiments Active Objects Simultaneous Broadcasting - digital TV - internet http://www.shoptime.com.br/apollo/internetTV.do

  16. Interactive Digital TVPUC-Rio model Screen Layout for Digital TV Application (VisionLab) Text Status Middleware (NCL/Telemidia) Menu Standard Traffic Main Text Interactivity icon Watermark Interactivity icon Wheather

  17. (in the compressed domain) Low-Cost Digital Asset Management

  18. HW And SW For HD Stereo Projection VisionLab Absolute Technologies The most compact 2K stereo projection system in Brazil VLab Stereo Player - 2K (High Definition) - no flicking - no audio dependence

  19. High Definition Stereo Production

  20. Image-based Rendering for Games & Simulations Conventional 3D model Relief impostor (an image in real time) Shading model CPU-GPU Parallel Architecture

  21. 3D Game Engines, Experimental Games, and Mobile Games Multiplayer Online Game in Mobile Phones

  22. Storytelling for Interactive TV and Defense The plot has a logical structure. Scenes are predicates with pre e post-conditions, e.g.: attack(draco, princess_castle). Red scenes should wait and green scenes are free to connect. Automatic animation of the attack scene, corresponding to the predicate attack Current scene • There are variations, but the backbone of the plot is not destroyed • There are both global visions and local/individual visions of the plot • The characters are intelligents, but fuzzy and emotional – this is Affective Computing in Participative Games • Dramatic Gaming vs Action Game
