Dear Author of Oral Presentation,

This note is to brief you on speaking at CVPR 2000, but first a couple
of reminders:

HOTEL RESERVATION CUT-OFF DATE: FRIDAY MAY 19.

      Reservations received after this date will be accepted by the
      hotel on a space available basis at the conference rates. See
      the conference web site or
      http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~tboult/CVPR2000/
      for details.

ADVANCED REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MONDAY, MAY 22.

         Registration fees will go up after this date. See the conference
         web site or https://secure.computer.org/conf/cvpr/register.htm
         for details.

  
By now, you should have decided which of the authors of your paper
will speak.  The speaker needs to know:

  1)  Each talk has 25 minutes allotted for the talk and for questions.
  We  suggest you talk for 17-20 minutes, and allow the rest for
  questions.  It is worth checking that your talk will run to time.
  Session chairs will stop the festivities after 25 mins
  and move on to the next speaker.

  2) There will be an overhead projector, a VCR,
  and a laptop projector available.  This laptop
  projector has a device resolution of 800x600,
  and deals with higher resolution by interpolating
  and subsampling.  This can make small fonts hard to read.
  We encourage you to check that your slides will work
  under these circumstances.  There will be a multi system
  VCR, but it may be safer to bring tapes in NTSC format.

  3)  The laptop projectors input is a 15 pin VGA port.  You
  may wish to check that your computer works with such ports;
  most --- except very old Mac Powerbooks --- do.  You may
  also wish to check the procedure involved in getting your
  computer to work with a projector.

  4) If there is a demand, it may be possible to supply a 35mm
  slide projector and a higher resolution laptop projector.  Please
  contact David Forsyth (daf@cs.berkeley.edu) if you will
  definitely need such devices.

  5) Remember that the interests of the audience span computer vision
  and pattern recognition; so you probably want to gear your talk
  to the entire audience rather than toward the single member of the 
  audience whose work is closest to yours; after all, she'll probably
  read the paper anyway.

  6) Don't be shy about showing new results that go beyond what was
  presented in the published papers.
