New institute logo

We have made a new logo for our institute at the TU Wien. It contains many exciting elements of computer graphics: fluid simulations, rendering and subsurface scattering. 😉

Nick Bostrom on Artificial Superintelligence

I have heard this argument many times. Nick Bostrom explains beautifully why one shouldn’t think one can just pull the plug on an artificial superintelligence.

IST Austria

My colleague Thomas Auzinger was hired by IST Austria, a research facility in a building that used to be an asylum. We got him a fitting present. 🙂

Just got this comment on our Separable Subsurface Scattering video (click to enlarge it). We’re trying our best, thank you! 🙂comment

A productive week

What a busy week this has been! I was able  to get following done:

  • 13 hours of traveling on Monday,
  • attended to our institute’s group photo,
  • reviewed 2 papers (the second is almost done),
  • audio engineered and cut together 10 videos of our rendering course,
  • drawn figures for our SIGGRAPH ASIA submission,
  • held meetings with my students,
  • prepared part of our new interview.

And I still have this Friday left! Feeling great and it’s getting better. 🙂
