Faculty launch Consortium for
Vision and Virtual Reality (CV2R)
Earlier this year, professors Alex Berg, Tamara Berg, Jan-Michael Frahm, Henry Fuchs, Ming Lin, and Dinesh Manocha launched the Consortium for Vision and Virtual Reality (CV2R), which brings government and industry to partner with UNC in advancing computer vision and virtual reality research and technologies. Consortium members engage with each other and with CV2R faculty and students via an Annual Retreat, networking opportunities, advisory board participation, and focused research collaborations (membership is discounted for UNC alumni).
The Consortium held its inaugural retreat at the Aqueduct Conference Center just outside Chapel Hill on October 14-16, 2015. The retreat featured presentations and demonstrations by researchers at AMD, Dolby, Google, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oculus, PhaseSpace, Sony, and Wearality as well as by faculty and students from UNC.
