Commencement 150th Commencement college of engineering university of california, berkeley May 21, 2019 live webcast at engineering.berkeley.edu/BEgrad19 twitter & instagram: #BEgrad19 berkeley engineering Dean’s Note On behalf of the College of Engineering, I’d like to congratulate all of our graduating students for reaching an important milestone. Your talent and skills, hard work and perseverance have made this moment possible. I am confident that you will be celebrating more achievements in the years to come! As you embark on the next stage of your studies or on your professional career, I hope you will share the knowledge and values that you gained during your time here. Today, the most successful leaders are those who inspire and bring out the best in others to achieve beyond expectations. Teams and organizations should value and include individuals with different experiences, perspectives and thinking, in order to achieve better outcomes. I am optimistic that if each of you commits to advancing equity and inclusion wherever you go, collectively we will transform the field of engineering and shape a better future for our globally interconnected society. I also hope that you will stay connected to the larger Berkeley Engineering community, which includes more than 67,000 alumni living in 114 countries around the globe. Online networking groups, including the @cal Alumni Network, will link you to fellow alums — and can lead to new opportunities and relationships in your life journey. Congratulations again, and best wishes to all of our graduates! —Tsu-JaeKingLiu,DeanandRoyW.CarlsonProfessorofEngineering live webcast at engineering.berkeley.edu/BEgrad19 twitter & instagram: #BEgrad19 commencement 2019 1 Pledge of Ethical Conduct for Engineers We, the graduating engineering Class of 2019, in recognition of the importance of our technologies in affecting the quality of life throughout the world, and in accepting a per- sonal obligation to our profession, its members and the communities we serve, pledge to commit ourselves to the highest ethical and professional conduct. Throughout our careers, we will consider the ethical implications and the impact on safety, health and welfare of the public and the environment of the work we do before we take action. While the demands placed upon us may be great, we make this declaration because we recognize that individual responsibility is the first step on the path to a better world for all. — adopted by the student relations committee, engineering student council and some 85 student societies of the uc berkeley college of engineering 2 berkeley engineering Pledge of Ethical Conduct for Engineers Commencement Speakers Ikennah Browne Elizabeth Hausler M.T.M.’19 BioE M.S.’98, Ph.D.’02 CEE Ikennah Browne was a Elizabeth Hausler is the practicing general surgeon founder and CEO of Build in Calgary, Canada, before coming to UC Berkeley.

  • How the Oculus Rift Works by Bernadette Johnson
    How the Oculus Rift Works by Bernadette Johnson Browse the article How the Oculus Rift Works Introduction to How the Oculus Rift Works Virtual reality (VR) has not only been the stuff of science fiction novels and movies for decades, but it's also been an actual thing -- sort of. The first VR headsets were produced in the 1960s. At the time, the technology took up a lot of room and cost massive amounts of money. In the late 1980s to 1990s, VR became accessible to general public in arcades and other amusement venues via heavy headsets and controllers used to play rather simple games -- such as swinging a pretend sword at virtual foes, with as much accuracy as the era's computing systems could muster. The head tracking was slow, the field of vision was narrow and the graphics were low-resolution by modern standards. The experience often induced headaches and motion sickness, and it wasn't all that immersive. Still, it was a step forward in gaming and was bound to get better, but it didn't catch on at the time and the industry fizzled. The necessary technology just wasn't out yet to make it compelling to the masses. The Oculus Rift in use during E3 in Los Angeles, Calif. in June 2013. © GUS RUELAS/Reuters/Corbis High-end VR headsets with better resolution and response time have been developed since then, but they've remained prohibitively expensive for the home user and still tend to inhabit places like government and corporate research and training facilities.

Given our talented students and dedicated faculty, I’m confident in our plans. But I’m thinking a lot about what connects vision to reality. One great advantage that we have in contributing our vision of the future is that we’re operating in an environment that continually strives for open collaboration and shares a mission of innovation at the service of society. We have a long history of Thank you for forming partnerships — within the college and broader community, as well as with government and industry — that create high-impact technologies and advance mean- ingful solutions to the most challenging of problems. your critical role By tradition, engineering and professional schools have been broadly connected to the outside world. But as we go forward, we also need to partner with parts of in all we continue the university that traditionally have not relied on close relationships with industry or outside organizations. For example, in augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), to build together. we’re currently developing a wonderful partnership with the faculty in Theater, Dance and Performance Studies; Art Practice; and the Center for New Media. They see that the future of dance, performance, music, sports — and indeed the future of how we teach, the future of education — is going to be transformed by AR/VR devices.

By deliberately misstating some facts and omitting others, ZeniMax makes the incredible assertion that it, a videogame software publishing company for personal computers and consoles like the Sony PlayStation, invented and developed a virtual reality hardware and software system. The truth is quite different. There is not a line of ZeniMax code or any of its technology in any Oculus VR product.
