Precise:
What makes objects and scenes appear realistic? With the VR/AR industry rapidly gaining speed, this question is raised more and more often as we try to leave the uncanny valley.  This talk will explore a range of concepts and properties impacting how we perceive the realism of combinations of the real and virtual, as well as methods and frameworks for assessing realism in this context.
