The Sir Eric Eastwood Lecture – Intimate Interfaces.
Speaker:
Simon Jones, PhD, DSc, CEng, Managing Director MediaLab
Venue:
IEE, Savoy Place, London, WC2R 0BL.
Synopsis:
The developed world generally and Europe especially benefit from rich digital connectivity and a road map to deliver further improvements in bandwidth and accessibility. Lagging behind this are applications and appliances to connect to this network that effortlessly and instinctively meet human needs. MediaLab Europe aims to address that need with an approach based around the idea of intimate interfaces. Followed by dinner in the Riverside Dining Room. Take the opportunity to network with fellow engineers in this attractive, informal setting.

The Speaker will show that with a little imagination we can all create recognisable shapes out of what appears to be random spacing of the surrounding stars. We can then take a brief journey through our Solar System with an array of colourful slides.
81-87 High Holborn, London (see below for directions)
Synopsis:
Auto Video Inspection (AVI) is an advanced technology that acquires high definition dynamic video images alongside other measurement data of assets for both investigative and routine condition monitoring. AVI is routinely used alongside noise and vibration, ride quality, geometry and component loading and displacement measurements to deliver a complete Asset Condition Monitoring (ACM) service. This system is now established as a key maintenance strategy tool for the rail industry. Joe Nolan, the AVI team leader for Metronet BCV, will provide an interesting insight into the technology used and its outputs.
