What: DavisGIG - Municipal Fiber Options Community Meeting
BY: DavisGIG and Davis Community Network (DCN)
Cost: Free, donations accepted

DavisGIG, a community group within town, is advocating for a 
municipal-owned, fiber-optic telecommunications network for Davis.
Come find out more about it and our efforts to get this done for Davis.

We are presenting two speakers.

Robert Nickerson "Municipal Fiber Optic for Davis"

We will explore what fiber optic Internet means, and why a 
community-owned fiber build is the best approach for Davis.

Robert Nickerson, is an Inter-nut, who has worked providing Internet 
Access, locally, since 1996. He is one of the owners of Omsoft, and very 
involved with DavisGIG(www.davisgig.org),  DCN (www.dcn.org) and Davis 
Makerspace (www.davismakerspace.org)

Oliver Kreylos, Ph.d "Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Telepresence"

These terms, you have no doubt heard of, are the next generation of 
human computer interface. They are being deployed to mass market in 
2016,  and you might know some of the more popular products such as 
OculusVR, Microsoft HoloLens or Google Glass. A roaring-fast fiber-optic 
network is needed in Davis to create the necessary platform to utilize 
this new technology.

Dr. Kreylos has been working as a researcher, developer and inventor in 
the field of Computer Visualization.  He has been a Project Scientist 
with the UCD, Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization for over 12 
years.
