Karol Kwiatek
I am a final year PhD student. I have been living in Plymouth since October 2007. I come from Poland. My research project is to discover new and compelling method for developing narratives that are presented via the use of interactive still and video panoramas. I started my interest in panoramic imagery during studies in Krakow in Poland and then in Dresden in Germany. I am a panorama photographer and create multimedia presentations. I won the first prize in the first round of Business Ideas Challenge in 2008 and then I won Creative Award in the final stage of the university competition. I published a few multimedia DVDs with interactive fullscreen panoramas and have designed the website about my research (www.charles3d.info). I won Dragons’ Den at the VC’s Research and Enterprise Conference 2009 and funds received allowed me to explore 360-degree opportunities in Canada. My paper presented on the Virtual Systems and MultiMedia conference (VSMM2009) was awarded the Best Student Paper Award. I am looking for compelling stories that could be told using interactive panoramas and video panoramas.
