The Age of Computer Aided Reasoning and its Effect on our Tools and How We Will Work and Communicate
In this talk we will explore how AI is changing our tools and experiences and use examples in:
1) Telepresence: Shifting from optical tricks like in the Magic Window to computational techniques like eye contact, directed view, cinematic director, and super resolution.
2) Productivity: in areas of typing, inking, organizing, commanding, and search. As the computer is able to reason what you want, the job of pixels may shift; things will be less programmatic and input can be vague. However, what you get will be more automated and more accurate.

Electrophoretic Displays: From eReaders to Smart and Green Surfaces Everywhere
Electrophoretic displays started 25 years ago as the ideal display for reading books. In the mean-time the technology has advanced significantly, showing faster refresh rate, full-color and note taking capabilities, while keeping the ultra-low power and paper-like viewing experience. This has not only enabled tremendous growth in the eReader space, but also opened up new markets in retail, transportation, hospital care, automotive and many other segments. With this, the vision of Smart and Green surfaces everywhere is becoming a reality.
