Augmented Web presentation from IEEE ISMAR13

Hi,

as promised, here's a link to the slides I presented at the IEEE ISMAR 
2013 conference today.

We also demoed our latest R&D work to develop a WebGLSL/shader based 
image processing pipeline that uses the GPU instead of the CPU and all 
with existing and public web api's.

The response to the overall presentation was really positive and I'm 
confident a lot more Computer Vision researchers will now be looking at 
the Augmented Web platform in a completely different way.

One discussion even lead to the real possibility that WebCL "could" 
possibly even be released on Android before OpenCL is. The comment from 
the audience there was that "if that happens...then you've won!" 8)

Also, some great news from Neil Trevett (Khronos Group) is that the 
OpenVX specification is heading into "Ratification" phase by the end of 
this month and within 45 days we could have a 1.0 specification!

There is also some really good discussions developing within the Khronos 
Group about how OpenCL could logically evolve into WebCL...just like 
OpenGL evolved into WebGL.  In that case the Augmented Web platform will 
then be a completely equal peer to all the native-code Computer Vision 
applications.

And there's also some great movement in the new Camera Control API 
working group in the Khronos Group which will also bring us some really 
important new developments soon.


On a separate note, I'd also like to welcome all the new participants 
that have joined this group. The overall group is a quiet bunch but 
you'll see that we're definitely one of the biggest Community Groups by 
number of participants and you're all welcome to continue contacting me 
directly to discuss any of our related topics for those that feel more 
comfortable with that.


The next big event I'll be presenting at is the "WebRTC World" 
conference in Santa Clara at the end of November.  I'll be presenting 
the Augmented Web and how WebRTC is enabling so much more than just 
video conferencing.

PS: I'll also include a shameless promotion for the book I've just had 
published by Packt Publishing - "Getting started with WebRTC".

As you'll see the core parts of this code and the new image processing 
pipeline work is now available on github.
