First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis
Promoting the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments for research purposes.
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
The First Workshop on Photorealistic Image and Environment Synthesis for Mixed Reality (PIES-MR) will engage experts and researchers on the synthesis of photorealistic images and virtual environments, particularly in the form of public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures, for mixed reality (MR) research, including both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Such public datasets, software tools, and infrastructures will enable researchers to better investigate how photorealism affects MR, AR, and VR experiences. Additionally, such openly available assets should enable easier creation of such photorealistic environments for developers. Photorealistic image and environment synthesis can benefit multiple research areas in addition to MR, such as machine learning, robotics, human perception, and multimedia systems.
