On Thursday, May 9th at 4pm in room 1240 CS there will be a distinguished lecture.
The speaker is Prof. James O’Brien from U.C. Berkeley.
James is a well-known animation researcher, who has focused on physical simulation (although he has done other things like motion capture-based animation, lighting, and computational geometry). Most recently he has been looking into perception issues as well.
I strongly recommend this talk, as it is quite relevant to class.
I know you have a project due the next day, but you should be able to take a break for an hour, eat a cookie, and hear a (probably interesting) talk.
