Brian Cabral, director of engineering for Facebook, visited the University of Aveiro last May 5th, 2017. Although this was a short visit, Brian Cabral delivered a talk about “The Future of Multidimensional Video Capture” that attracted a large number of researchers and students that also had the chance to exchange views with Brian.
Fernando Ramos, the Scientific Coordinator of DigiMedia-Digital Media and Interaction research centre, guided Brain in a visit to the labs of DigiMedia where he had contact with some of the flagship projects of our research unit, namely in the fields of web 2.0 digital media (SAPO Campus, GPS) and interactive TV (iNeighbor TV, UltraTV).
At lunch time Brain joined Joseph Paradiso, from the MIT Media Lab also visiting the University of Aveiro, and the members of the coordination board of DigiMedia in very stimulating discussions about the future of digital media technologies and applications.
This visit was possible due to the support from the American Corner delegation at the University of Aveiro and the USA Embassy in Portugal.
