WORKSHOP WITH PAUL DEBEVEC
Virtuality conference is proud to present the first of a
series of Virtuality Workshops which expand and
complement the Virtuality Conference Program by offering an
occasion for courses which allow students and professionals to
get in-depth treatment of the subjects which can only be
overviewed in a conference format. The Workshops, one day each,
will feature lectures and discussions delivered by world famous
specialists. We are proud to announce the first of our guest
speakers, Prof. Paul Debevec, Director of the Institute for
Creative Technology of the USC-University of Southern
California, winner of the 2004 Siggraph award and of the 2004
Ars Electronica prize for his famous digital reconstruction of
the Parthenon. The Workshop will take place at the Virtual
Reality and Multi Media Park, Corso Lombadia 190, Turin,
Italy, on May 23rd, 2006. For more details on the event and on
the program for the workshop, please visit our website:

WORKSHOP WITH PAUL DEBEVEC
TUESDAY, MAY
23, 2006
Organized by Virtuality Conference
at VIRTUAL REALITY & MULTI MEDIA PARK
C.so Lombardia, 190 – 10149 Turin, Piedmont, Italy
Paul Debevec is a research assistant professor at the University
of Southern California and the executive producer of graphics
research at USC's Institute for Creative Technologies. Debevec's
Ph.D. thesis (UC Berkeley, 1996) presented Facade, an
image-based modeling and rendering system for creating photoreal
architectural models from photographs. Using Facade he led the
creation of virtual cinematography of the Berkeley campus for
his 1997 film "The Campanile Movie" whose techniques were used
to create virtual backgrounds in the 1999 film "The Matrix".
Debevec has also pioneered techniques for illuminating
computer-generated scenes with real-world lighting captured
through high dynamic range photography, demonstrating new
image-based lighting techniques in his films "Rendering with
Natural Light" (1998), "Fiat Lux" (1999), and "The Parthenon"
(2004). He also led the design of HDR Shop, the first
widely-used high dynamic range image editing program. Most
recently, Debevec has led the development of a series of Light
Stage devices that allow objects, actors, and performances to be
synthetically illuminated with novel lighting, recently used to
create photoreal digital actors for the 2004 film "Spider Man
2". Debevec received ACM SIGGRAPH's first Significant New
Researcher Award in 2001.
