2. Imaging at a trillion frames per second
Ramesh is the Associate Professor of the Media Arts
and Sciences, the Co-Director, Center for Future
Storytelling and the NEC Career Development
Professor of Media Arts and Sciences.
3. Ramesh started his presentation by
showing this picture taken in 1964 of a
bullet being shot through an apple.
4. In 1964 this was somewhat of a big
deal. Being able to capture something
as fast a bullet with a camera. With an
exposure of a millionth of a second.
5. He went on to say that 50 years later
we can see the world not at a millionth
or a billionth, but a trillionth frames
per second.
6. With this new kind of photography called
Femto-Photography we can take a slow motion
movie of light traveling through space.
7. The slides that Ramesh used in his
presentation read well and were clear
to the eye. I knew what he was talking
about.
8. His delivery was very good. Even with his
Indian accent I was able to understand him
perfectly. He spoke loud and clear. He
also did not speak to the point where he
was out of breath. Not only was his
presentation well prepared but Ramesh also
added in some jokes to keep the audience
entertained.
9. Robinson/Raskar
Both Robinson and
Ramesh were great
speakers. They both
presented their material
in such a way that you
were able to understand
it without a problem.
Both were clear and
easy to understand.
One thing that I did
notice is that they both
didn’t move at all. In my
opinion it would be
better to just walk back
and fourth to keep the
audience “awake.”
10. Tips
Hello classmates some things that we can all do to
better our presentations is to speak loud and
clear so we are easily understood. Make sure that
we all are dressed appropriately for the
presentation. And the big one in my opinion is
lighting, make sure that your audience and see
you without a problem. Proper lighting is key. Just
make sure to stay calm and breathe, you don’t
want to run out of breath while you are speaking.
