'Within the research strand, 'next' will focus on the practical and the overlap between research and content production with an emphasis on commercialization potential. For example, one session will feature a demo of a new touch screen, 3D imaging technology, developed within the Artificial Perception Laboratory at the University of Toronto. 'The presentation will be a jumping off point for a model of how commercialization of such technologies can provide an extra revenue stream to content producers.'

The system utilizes novel methods in artificial intelligence and electrical engineering, and provides for a simple method of navigating through a large database of images and videos. Potential applications include multi-camera shooting of movies, visual archaeology and data storage, as well as online 3-D visualization and scene exploration.
