Visual Intelligence, exciting event in London, November 25th

Latest interesting event from our man in London, Finn MacLeod 

I have always wanted a technology conference that feels like walking onto the bridge of a starship. Glowing information displays, buttons and dark backdrops. Where each speaker is an essential part of the whole. Today, I am pleased to announce, that it is going to happen.

After a year in London sifting through the tech scene, I can confirm a speaker list of those who are doing the most exciting work under the theme of “Visual Intelligence”. Visual intelligence will be a Friday afternoon of around 12 companies and speakers, each of whom are pushing the boundaries of visual possibility and demonstrating remarkable new approaches in visual technology, analysis and design.

We will have holographic pyramids; We will have 3D demonstrations of disaster response software; and we will have shared augmented reality demonstrations.

DataRefiner

The picture is the screenshot of a tool called DataRefiner, being used by a well known social network to predict features in their user behaviour. DataRefiner extracts pattern with deep learning techniques to reduce hundreds of millions of data points to zoomable, interactive pattern that just happens to look a little like a sixties psychedelic mural. The creator talks deep learning, topological data analysis and visualisation.

Kazendi
