Welcome Remarks

TAWA – Jirote Bongkotmart

Dr. Jirote welcomed the participants. The TAWA purpose is to connect Thai people together, help Thai

people, and collaborate on projects such as Thai festival.

ATPAC – Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse

Dr. Wanpracha (Art) introduced ATPAC. ATPAC brings Thai professionals in North America together to help

Thailand. Digital Animation Industry is one example of the west coast strong area. It is an industry that

improves economic potential in the USA and has the similar potential to do the same in Thailand.

Opening Remarks

Royal Thai Consulate Los Angeles – Consul-General Jesda Katavetin

CG Jesda welcomed participants. The primary goal of this event is to connect Thai people who shares the

same expertise and interest together. There are about 50 – 60 participants today. The Consulate in LA

oversees 13 states in US. The main focus of digital economy in Thailand are: animation, e-learning, gaming,

and new media. These are the innovative areas that Thailand can improve their capacity and drive the

economy forward. Today’s event will allow private and public sectors in Thailand to connect to the right

people when they need help for specific expertise. The current government tries to mobilize strength from all

sectors in the society under the name of “Pracharath” (ประชารัฐ) to jointly move the country forward on

sustainable footing.

IT & Animation Kickoff – Gaviphat Lekutai, AT&T

Dr. Gaviphat described digital economy “new” S-curve which

requires an upside surprised of creativity or entropy. IT and

animation industry play a critical role to raise the S-curve. This

new upside surprised of creativity can be modeled as a

Shannon Stack which consists of 5 layers; from lowest creativity

(Stack 1) to highest creativity (Stack 5):

4

Stack 1: The information “pipes” (AT&T, T-mobile, Comcast, etc.)

Stack 2: Platforms for devices and software to deliver contents or services (Google, Amazon, etc.)

Stack 3: Original creation of contents (DreamWorks, Walt Disney’s, Netflix, etc.)

Stack 4: Platforms enabling peer-to-peer exchange of information (FB, Bitcoin, etc.)

Stack 5: Distributed intelligence embedded in devices for self-autonomy or Internet of Things (No

dominant companies yet. Examples include connected homes e.g. Nest, connected cars, Google

Glass, autonomous driving, Amazon Echo, etc.)

Amazon starts with Stack 2 and try to become original content creator (Stack 3), as well as IoT (Stack 5).

Microsoft begins with Stack 2. Facebook begins with Stack 4 – human to human interactions. Google expands

from Stack 2 to all stacks ranges from Google Fiber and Google Loon (Stack 1) to Google Car, a machine to

machine/people interactions (Stack 5). AT&T moved from a traditional pipe with Stack 1 to an acquisition of

DirectTV (Stack 2 & 3) towards connected home/connected car (Stack 5).

The embodiment of new creativity/innovations requires both IT and animation communities.

Animation Overview – Arut Tantasirin, Nickelodeon, Chanon Thareechit, Blizzard Entertainment

and Rattanin Sirinaruemarn, Walt Disney

The speakers gave an overview of animation and game industries by categorizing the roles. In this

presentation, the focus was on animator, visual effects and game character design. Mr. Arut (North)

described what it takes and journey to become an animator, which requires concept design, artistic design,

character development and act-out skills. Mr. Rattanin (Tu) described the general process of building a

realistic visual effect. He show-cased his work on the waterfall scene in the movie Zootopia. The visual effect

job requires tedious work of observing the slow motion video and trial-and-error on combining multiple

effects.Mr. Chanon (Non) opened Q/A session and talked about the evolution of computer graphics from 1997

until now. He showed some popular demo that was very expensive in the past, but can be very cheap if were

to be done nowadays due to the computer graphics technological advancement. He also suggested some tips

for younger animators that good animators should have both technical graphics skills and act-out skills.

IT Overview – Dalin Kongseri, Amazon

Ms. Dalin described an estimate of Thai professionals in the tech industry around the Seattle area including ~

50+ Microsoft, 30+ Amazon, Boeing, etc. Common IT terminologies such as cloud computing, machine

learning, Internet of Things, big data analysis were described. Many Thai IT professionals have helped

created a number of new innovations such as Amazon Echo (Alexa), fraud detection, machine learning, etc.

5

Amazon put big emphasis on effortless customer service (as you can see on the logo depicting the smile)

including a simple one click order, one day delivery, etc. The presentation walked us through new trending in

IT concepts at Amazon (case study) such as robots that helped bring 300 million of merchandises in the

Amazon inventory/warehouse to the shippers/packers, a global Amazon clouds supporting third party

marketplace, etc. Ms. Dalin explained how Amazon has successfully utilizes information technology in all

aspects of its operations to achieve over 250 billion USD valuation.

Animation Experience

Art of Creating Animation Shorts – Arut Tantasirin, Nickelodeon

Mr. Arut introduced animation short film named Cheezz. The film was inspired by a real Japanese uncle

named Yamazaki, a Warbie bird, and a Japan town in San Francisco. A storyboard is considered the most

critical part of the film. A second short film is “lucky.” This is a loop short film where the first frame must be

the last frame of the film. A Warbie bird character was later developed into several products such as line

stickers and cookie. Main software is Maya (costs about $30-$40 per month).

Effect and Game Animation – Rattanin Sirinaruemarn, Walt Disney

Mr. Rattanin explained how to produce the waterfall effect in Zootopia in CG:

Simulate fluid

Simulate whitewater (extract some data from fluid sim)

Simulate mist

Technical challenge

Sheer amount of data

Hacking fluid solver (Houdini)

Procedural geometry, no simulation

Artistic challenge

Believable scale

Match the look from Vizdev

How to make it better

Better design of procedural system of waterfall

Improve the falling water look by making small droplet look like it is dragged by surrounding air

Render as volumetric shader

Optimize and compress the large data

Opt for python script to automate the setup

6

IT Big Data Experience

Machine Learning – Kittipat Kampa, Redfin

Dr. Kittipat described Echo is an example of deep learning to translate voice to machine language. Redfin

tries to be the best price estimator in the real estate industry.

Data science changes from gut-feeling to data-driven decision, which provides insights that are not obvious.

Walmart can prepare the inventory properly special event, such as hurricane. What are not obvious?

Beer is best-selling before hurricane.

Strawberry Pop tarts sell rate is 7 times before the hurricane.

Data scientists are people with some mix of coding and statistical skill.

Type A (Analysis) – maybe statisticians.

Type B (Build) – some statistics plus very strong coders.

Venn diagram:

Hacking skills

Math & statistics

Substantive expertise

Machine learning = computer science + statistics

Bigger data, more complex data, faster calculation

Tasks in machine learning

Supervised learning – need label on each record

Unsupervised learning – label is not needed, for example using clustering algorithm to determine 5-7

the diaper size for babies.

Reinforcement learning – reward and punish the algorithm if the end result is win or lose,

respectively. This is used a lot in game, for example, AlphaGo and Chess.

Redfin features

Hot home: 80% chance this home will sell in the next 12 days.

Room condition tagging – Train the computer to know which condition is good versus neutral.

Home recommendation – to make sure we send correct information to the right user.

Redfin price estimate – use lots of data and variables to estimate the home price.

Algorithm

Accuracy versus interpretability

Conclusions

Data is the new oil

7

Data science is a great practice to extract the knowledge and insight from the data

Machine learning is an important tool for Data Science.

Data science for Social Good requires Open Data. Seattle is a great example. There is a website

called, data.seattle.gov that provides data for everyone to play with.

Graphics/Visions - Supasorn Suwajanakorn, CISE UW

Capturing Visualizing persona facing detection

Use the movie that contains many faces in motion

Visual – Expression, Dynamics Appearance

Non-Visual - Voice Conversation

Abstract – Personality

New Dimensions in Testimony

How can we capture

Unstructured data

o Capturing 3D Face

Still images

Multiple cameras

Real time high fidelity data

3D Reconstruction - Photometric Stereo

# Light

Light positions

Object condition (fixed, moving, shading)

Final outcomes can be used for

Finding correspondence across faces

Mapping across ages – used for Missing Children identification

IT UX-UI Experience

Web UX/UI Front End Programming – Saranya Udomsri, Amazon

Data Driven in Design and Innovation -> Website. The

presentation will show you how to use data to improve

design and innovation. Ms. Saranya walked us through

the data-driven process along with real examples from

Amazon.

Design Technology – Knowledge software Technology in

Website Design.

8

Data-driven design process for website:

Design and development process: plan, design, develop, deploy

Insight Gathering – Define data and metrics that explain the final goals

Quantitative – Numerical data – who, what, when, where

Qualitative – Non-numerical data – why, how

Why –

o The most difficult information to get, because we don’t know what

we don’t have.

o Mystery of user logic

o Use quantitative data to solve

Case study 1: Increase seller’s registration rate on an Amazon page: Clarify goal and metric (the

number here is a mock-up number)

o Problem: currently only 2% of users complete the registration

o Goal: Increase conversion rate by 3%

o Metric: % of users complete the registration

o Why?

Low registration conversion rate – too many steps, take too long, complicate

Case study 2: Add button “restore” on seller’s Gmail account: Innovation and Business

Low hanging fruit – Great benefit with little effort

Drive higher discoverability click – through rate for email

Idea: to do a quick experiment, less effort but big return

Pick one email…..how?

High benefit

Low conversion rate

What did we do?

Knowing the users and sellers is the key of successful in innovation.

Accessibility in UX/UI – Prakarn Nisarat, UW

Introducing the UX design with accessibility in mind. We will

talk about 3 major types of disabilities and what are the best

practices in implementing web and animation technology to

enhance the user experience and create the design that works

for everyone.

9

Projects from Government grants have to be accessible to everyone – which consists of

Visual (3 main types of visual impairment)

- Blind, Low vision, Color Blind

Alt text

Web form

Color contrast

Motor

Cognitive

- Vestibular disorder (inner ear, scene of space, ocular system)

Discover new fonts and colors with every tab

o Avoid flashing 3 times in 1 second

o Avoid multi-direction rotation

o Avoid dolly zoom

o Make content understandable

Good sematic

Alt text

Color contract

Form field

Focus indicator

Descriptive link text

Table header

ARIA design pattern

o Users are not you

Design/Prototyping – Phannipha Arunyaangkul, Facebook

What is product designer at Facebook?

Product thinking

Interaction design

A tool is an enabler which allows a designer to create more things.

Some design tools at Facebook:

Photoshop – traditional tool for mock product design, though its popularity decreases among

Facebook product designers because of Sketch.

Sketch – a design tool used widely within Facebook.

Prototyping tools:

10

Framer

Origami Studio – Visual programming which enables product design to be able to see what will

happen with the product before the 2nd stage prototype from Engineer. This helps to save lots of time

for the engineers. The framework will be released for public at the end of 2016.

Closing

Summary – Jirote Bongkotmart, TAWA

Dr. JR concluded the meeting and thanks CG, key speakers, sponsors, and audiences. Raffles were drawn

resulted to the four lucky winners (Dr. Eakalak, Mr. Nat, Ms. Saranya and Mr. Prakarn). Gifts were presented
