Basic Talk Structure By David Johnson

Goals of a Talk Communicate your contribution to an audience Things that can go wrong Didn’t tell what you did Didn’t say why you did it What is the problem you wanted to solve Didn’t say why it is important to solve it Why should people care

Different Ways to Order Those Points Look at the following slides and see where those points are made What did I do What does it solve (better than before) Why should others care

Temporal Collision Detection Collision detection is an important tool in animation and simulation Multi-billion dollar industries Current approaches do not handle fast-moving objects well We have developed a method for velocity-bounding possible collision time Log(velocity) growth compared to linear scaling of current approaches

Temporal Collision Detection We have developed a method for velocity-bounding possible collision time Current approaches do not handle fast-moving objects well linear scaling with object velocity This approaches scales log(velocity) This was motivated by applications in animation and simulation Working with GE on simulating bird collisions with jet airplanes

Interest Your Audience Slide per basic point Not all three elements on one slide Use pictures and images to help audience understand context Don’t use all bullets like I am here Make a great diagram or image and float text boxes around to explain it
