Keynotes
Marc Pollefeys, ETH Zurich
Title: 3D/4D capture of environments and events
Abstract
In this talk I will first present some of our work on capturing 3D models of large scale environments from street-side video as well as from massive photo-collections. Then, I will talk about constructing 4D representations of events from casually captured videos and how these can be interactively navigated.

Title: EGSR 1990-2030
Abstract
The EGSR has been running for about two decades. This talk will review changes in rendering over that time as well as EGSR's role in that. It will then review important open problems, as well as what changes are likely over the next two decades.
