New Approaches to 3D Vision Call for Papers

New Approaches to 3D Vision, 
1st-4th November 2021, hosted by the Royal Society 

This Royal Society online meeting brings together researchers from
computer vision, animal vision, and human vision to explore recent
developments in 3D vision. Speakers reflect both academia and
industry, with representatives from DeepMind, Facebook Reality Labs,
Google, and Microsoft Research.

Date/Time: 1st-4th November 2021, 3-6pm (3-6:30pm on the 4th), UK Time
Please note that the USA/UK time difference is 1hr less than usual
