Mocap, middleware, face capture, computer vision, real time character, massive SNS service, new business, etc....

The event will use one integrated Google Slides (http://j.mp/VBW19Slides). Eventually, it will be published by official Google Slides and SlideShare. Please propose your contents to be integrated on Google Slides (slides of 16: 9), as it does not matter if the work is in progress. Presenters can update it later (until a few days before the event). The pitch should be designed in 3 min. Don't expect you can talk 30 min. Recorded video is also good solution if presenter prefers to respect the duration. Embedded YouTube is recommended.
