Spring 2011 (RA)

Courses:
- CMPT 771: Internet Architectures and Protocols
- CMPT 88 : Special Topics,

Had a busy weekend with my birthday ;-) But, also worked on the presentation I gave about 3D videos during our weekly team meeting. During the same week, I got familiar with the concept of remote rendering. I have read about some previous experiments where it was used in a virtual reality environment, and how the concept was used to improve the current viewpoint selection process on mobile devices. The papers helped me understand the concept, and the various way a proxy server could be used, even if it was used in a freeview point context rather than a stereo video one. For example, it can be used to partially render a video, or even completely. GPUs could also be used if needed. However, the problematic being solved being different than the one I am focusing on, the aspect of computing the reference frames needed when a user change the viewpoint was of little interest.

Fall 2010 (TA)

Worked on Litterature Survey of 3D technologies, and understanding the current research areas with a focus on those that are related to the field of 3DTV on Mobile Devices. Also, I got familiar with a power measurement tool for Android, and understand how to apply it in the context of academic research.
