Christie CTO delivering keynote at High Performance Displays Conference

May 23, 2013

Visual display technology provider Christie announced that Dr. Paul Salvini, its chief technology officer, will be a keynote speaker and a panelist at the High Performance Displays Conference taking place in Vancouver, B.C., today.

High performance is a new topic for the Society for Information Display's Market Focus Conference Series this year, as part of Display Week 2013, located at the Vancouver Convention Centre, May 19-24. Salvini will deliver the keynote address for the morning session today at the one-day High Displays Conference, where the focus will be on the "visual interface" — the performance characteristics of displays that enable differentiable improvements for the user's visual experience.

Following his keynote address, Dr. Salvini will be one of four display sector leaders taking part in a moderated panel called "Great Thinkers." The four panelists will be challenged to identify the display performance parameters that "truly enable enhanced human interaction with display devices."

At Christie, Salvini is CTO and leads the company's research and innovation activities. He is passionate about the creation of compelling shared visual experiences across multiple domains, including cinema, visualization and simulation, according to the announcement. Prior to his appointment with Christie in June 2011, Salvini was CTO at Side Effects Software. He has led a three-time Academy Award winning team of engineers and software developers in advancing the art and science of visual effect in feature films.

Salvini also holds an appointment as an Adjunct Professor in the Graduate School of Computer Science at the University of Toronto. He serves on a number of boards relating to digital media research in the areas of graphics, information visualization and 3D film innovation.
