Keynote: Extended Reality for Medical Applications through Visual AI

Invited speaker: Helge Rhodin

Abstract:
Extended reality solutions capture and enhance the user's experience from an egocentric viewpoint. However, detecting, reconstructing, and making decisions based on body-worn or hand-held cameras poses significant challenges. In my presentation, I will briefly introduce my pioneering work in egocentric motion capture, as well as past and ongoing projects related to action recognition and body shape reconstruction. I will then delve into how I believe that these methods will reshape medical applications and how our latest advancements in neural character models enable telemedicine and AI-driven decision-making.

Biography:

Helge Rhodin is currently an Assistant Professor at UBC, leading a team of 10 graduate students and postdocs and is associated with the UBC computer vision and graphics labs. In 2024, he will start as full Professor at Bielefeld University, Germany, leading the Visual AI for Extended Reality group. Before, he was a lecturer and postdoc at EPFL and received his PhD from Saarland University, with his thesis on Motion Capture for Interactive Virtual Worlds. Rhodin's research interests range from fundamental 3D computer vision and self-supervised machine learning to applications in sports, medicine, neuroscience, and augmented reality.
