Driving advances in hardware, devices, and cyber-physical systems that expand the possibilities of computing.
In this talk, I will discuss how to relax design constraints in quantum information processing in two distinct ways. First, I discuss using principled approaches to statistical inference to make more efficient use of data…
By Andrew Maimone, Researcher; Andreas Georgiou, Researcher; Joel Kollin, Principal Research Hardware Development Engineer Last week at the SCIEN Workshop on Augmented and Mixed Reality, a group of industry and academic researchers met to discuss the future of…
We present novel designs for virtual and augmented reality near-eye displays based on phase-only holographic projection. For more information, please visit our project page and blog.
Summary In this project, we explore how digital holography can be used to build novel near-eye displays for virtual and mixed (or augmented) reality. We experiment with true, phase-only holograms in which the image is formed by the interference…
By Kristin Lauter, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research Last week I spent time at the American Institute of Mathematics in San Jose, working with a group of 20 or so mathematicians and computer scientists on questions…
Increasingly, educational games have become an established part of the instructional landscape, however designing a compelling and effective instructional game remains a challenge. One of the reasons for this challenge is that game players are…
Estimation of Shannon and Renyi entropies of unknown discrete distributions is a fundamental problem in classical statistical property testing that has been intensively studied by the communities of both theoretical computer science and information theory.…
