CENIC Conference (Jan 25, 2011) Innovations in Networking Award
Together with Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) of UC Davis, we have received Innovations in Networking Award presented by The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) for our CITRIS sponsored project "Tele-Immersion for Physicians". The project is aimed at providing teleimmersive technologies for medical applications, such as in data visualization (e.g. MRI, 3D X-RAY), remote collaboration, training and education. More information about the project can be found here.
VSMM Conference (Nov 19, 2010) Best Paper Award
We have received Best Paper Award at 16th International Conference on Visualization and Multimedia (VSMM 2010, Korea) for the paper "Cyberarchaeology - Experimenting with Teleimmersive Archaeology" by M. Forte and G. Kurillo. The paper presents our ongoing work on collaborative cyberarchaeology aimed at remote real-time interaction with 3D archaeological models through a shared virtual environment.
Daily Californian (Oct 14, 2010) Study Tries to Unite People in Virtual Space
Gregorij Kurillo stood in his laboratory at UC Berkeley, surrounded by 48 cameras and 12 computers equipped to reconstruct the 3-D depth of anything placed within their scope, explaining his hopes for the future of his research...

Smartplanet, CBS (Oct 6, 2010) Berkeley tele-immersion lab developing 3D video conferencing
New tele-immersive technologies could be the future of video conferencing. The technology allows users to share a 3D environment with other individuals from a remote location. SmartPlanet talks to University of California at Berkeley's Gregorij Kurillo about how the system is being used to create virtual spaces for users to interact and manipulate 3D objects.
