SPEAKER: Dr. Elizabeth Downing, Founder 3D Technology Labs
Dr. Downing will be talking about the technology which she has developed
for viewing true, moving 3D images in a small glass cube. This
technology
may redefine the way we visualize in the future. The talk will discuss
the technological innovations behind this new way of viewing 3d objects
and will discuss various chemical species and material systems in which
this
phenomenon works (and doesn't work), system integration and
architecture issues, features of this type of volumetric display (vs
say rotating ones), and application areas for this emerging technology.
Dr. Downing received her B.S., in Mechanical Engineering from
Carnegie Mellon University. She received both an M.S. and Ph.D., in
Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University.
ABOUT 3D Technology Labs:
3D Technology Laboratories has a vision of the future that is a quantum
leap beyond current display hardware. Using commercially available U.S.
manufactured components, 3DTL is working to integrate a volumetric
display that can satisfy the visualization needs of industries as
diverse as
military, medicine, science, engineering, education, and entertainment.
This technology, which has just emerged on the display scene, represents
a paradigm shift in the way we present and interpret information. Winner
of Industry Week and Discover magazines Technology of the Year
awards for its simplicity and elegance, this powerful new display
technology is poised to lead America into the next millennium.
