1. Basic Talk Structure
By David Johnson

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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
