what am i doing in japan

i've been asked what i'm doing here -
enjoying the opportunity to gain experience in computer vision, work in a top lab in japan, and of course the chance to live and travel in japan for a short amount of time (6 weeks).

i am here with the lovely and witty EeHui, another student from monash uni.





we are primarily writing a manual in english for the 100 eye camera system, but also involved in the research project.



its a novel, interesting and complicated system. with multiple cameras, its possible to recreate scenes from arbitrary angles (even if there was no camera in that position).

they also have this nifty SeeLinder, a kind of tv that is cylindrical, so you can walk all around it and see the 3d picture from any angle. its pretty cool.

so i've been going to work, staying late, working on personal projects most evenings, but going touring on the weekends.
