Reprint/Rebroadcast Permissions
All requests concerning permission to reprint photographs and to
rebroadcast video footage should be made to the Publications
& Publicity Manager.
Photographs
The Department of Computer Science has a large selection of photographs
depicting current and past research projects and other activities. Many
of these photographs are the property of the department. Others are
the property of professional photographers and may not be reprinted
in non-departmental publications without first obtaining permission
from the photographer who holds the copyright. Depending on the
publication, some photographers may request a small fee. There are
also photographs that the department has purchased the rights to from
the professional photographer who took them. In all cases, it is
advisable to contact the Publications & Publicity Manager to
be sure that the correct procedure is followed.
Video
Some of the department's research projects include video
clips on their web pages. If you are interested in obtaining
a copy of a video clip at a higher quality than may be
available on the web, in VHS, Beta, D2, or Mini DV, please
contact the Publications & Publicity Manager. A small fee
may be charged to cover the cost of materials and labor.
Other Information
Research Information on the Web
Most of the department's research projects include information about
their work on the department's
web pages. Because researchers often find themselves to be too
busy to update their pages regularly with the latest developments,
before using information on the web page for a story the media
representative is advised to check with his or her contact on the
project to determine that the information is current.
Past Media Coverage
Interested in knowing what stories the media has covered in
the department in the past? The department maintains an
archive of past
appearances in the broadcast and print media. During 2001
and early 2002, research areas attracting the most interest have
been Augmented Reality Surgery,
the nanoManipulator Project,
the Office of the Future Project
(tele-immersion research),
Digital Mammography--part of the work of the Medical
Image Display and Analysis Group (MIDAG), and the
dAb Haptic Painting
System. A local company,
3rdTech Inc., which is developing and marketing
products based on technology developed in our department
and in other departments at UNC-Chapel Hill, has also been
mentioned several times in the press.
