The DVN Workshop at Rochester, Michigan—near Detroit—will be held this coming 13 January, with a welcome dinner the evening before. The rubric is Future Lighting Technologies, Techniques, and Regulatory Affairs. Over 200 attendees have registered, representing 60 companies, research institutes, regulatory agencies, and other outfits, and registration is now closed. A rich list of diverse presentations will include a keynote and 20 lectures—including one on a lighting-related safety matter never formally quantified and studied until now. There will be open Q & A at the end of each session, and a panel discussion chaired by GTB President Geoff Draper.
Keynote: Dr. Srinivasa Narasimhan (Carnegie-Mellon University):
Programmable Headlights: One Billion Light Beam Adaptations Per Second
The speaker will explain how researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Intel have devised a system of much finer resolution, much faster response, much lower latency, and much more versatile functionality than today’s matrix beam systems and raster-scanning spinning-mirror concepts.
