    Christian Richardt is a Research Scientist at Reality Labs Research in Pittsburgh. He was previously a Reader (=Associate Professor) and EPSRC-UKRI Innovation Fellow in the Visual Computing Group, the CAMERA Centre and REVEAL at the University of Bath. His research interests cover the fields of image processing, computer graphics and computer vision, and his research combines insights from vision, graphics and perception to reconstruct visual information from images and videos, to create high-quality visual experiences with a focus on 6-degree-of-freedom VR video.

    Christian was previously a postdoctoral researcher working on user-centric video processing and motion capture with?Christian Theobalt?at the Intel Visual Computing Institute at Saarland University and also in?the Graphics, Vision and Video?group?at?Max-Planck-Institut f?r Informatik?in Saarbr?cken, Germany. Previously,?he was a postdoc in the?REVES?team at?Inria?Sophia Antipolis, France, working with?George Drettakis?and?Adrien Bousseau, and he interned?with?Alexander Sorkine-Hornung?at?Disney Research Zurich?where he worked on Megastereo?panoramas.

    Christian graduated with a PhD and BA from the?University of?Cambridge?in 2012 and 2007, respectively. His PhD in the?Computer Laboratory?s?Rainbow Group?was supervised by?Neil Dodgson. His doctoral research investigated the full life cycle of videos with depth (RGBZ videos): from their acquisition, via filtering and processing, to the evaluation of stereoscopic display.

    Christian Richardt is a Lecturer and EPSRC-UKRI Innovation Fellow at the University of Bath. He graduated with a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2012 and was previously a postdoc at Inria Sophia-Antipolis, MPI Informatics, and the Intel Visual Computing Institute. His research combines insights from vision, graphics and perception to reconstruct visual information from images and videos, to create high-quality visual experiences with a focus on 6-degree-of-freedom VR video. He previously organised two SIGGRAPH courses (User-Centric Videography in 2015, Video for Virtual Reality in 2017), and co-presented a full-day tutorial on VR/AR Display Technologies at IEEE VR 2018.

    SIGGRAPH 2015

    Christian Richardt is a postdoctoral researcher at the Intel Visual Computing Institute at Saarland University and also in the Graphics, Vision and Video group at Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics in Saarbr?cken, Germany. He was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the REVES team at Inria Sophia Antipolis, France, and graduated with a PhD and BA from the University of Cambridge, England, in 2012 and 2007, respectively. His research combines insights from vision, graphics and perception to extract and reconstruct visual information from images and videos, to create high-quality visual results and experiences.????
