What and Who

Towards a transparent and flexible image sensor

Oliver Bimber
Johannes Kepler University Linz
Talk

At the age of 36, Oliver Bimber was appointed to a full university professor (2009) and became head of the Institute of Computer Graphics at Johannes Kepler University Linz. From 2003-2010 he served as a Junior Professor of Augmented Reality at the Media System Science Department of Bauhaus-University Weimar. He received a Ph.D. (2002) in Engineering from Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany, and a Habilitation degree (2007) in Computer Science (Informatik) at Munich University of Technology. From 2001 to 2002 Bimber worked as a senior researcher at the Fraunhofer Center for Research in Computer Graphics in Providence, RI/USA, and from 1998 to 2001 he was a scientist at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics in Rostock, Germany. Earlier affiliations include the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (New York, USA), the Dundalk Institute of Technology (Dundalk, Ireland), and the University of Applied Science Giessen (Giessen, Germany).

Bimber co-authored the book "Displays: Fundamentals and Applications" (2011) with Rolf R. Hainich and the book "Spatial Augmented Reality" (2005) with Ramesh Raskar (MIT). Since 2005 he serves on the editorial board of the IEEE Computer Magazine. The VIOSO GmbH was founded in his group in 2005. He and his students received several awards for their research and inventions, and have won scientific competitions, such as the ACM Siggraph Student Research Competition (1st place 2006 and 2008, 2nd place 2009 and 2011), and the ACM Student Research Competition Grand Final (2006) that was presented together with the Turing award.

Abstract

I will present achievements of our four years journey along the development of the world’s first flexible and transparent image sensor. What was claimed to be impossible by many in the beginning, has now born first fruits in form of real-time image reconstructions, lens-less multi-focal imaging, and compressed optical Radon transforms — all with a thin plastic foil. This talk addresses an audience with interdisciplinary interest in computer science (with aspects in image reconstruction, machine learning and classification) and photonics (with aspects in thin-film optics, light transport, and new materials).
