Distributed AI/ML is a key application domain of modern edge computing. By bringing computational resources, particularly GPUs, closer to end users, it becomes possible to execute deep learning and large language models within a single wireless hop. In this talk, we introduce the concept of virtual edge computing, which bridges the gap between cloud, edge, and fog infrastructures by virtualising all available resources, including end-user devices. From the perspective of vehicular networking applications, this paradigm opens up new directions in the emerging field of collaborative intelligence. Rather than executing AI models exclusively on local devices or in the cloud, Edge AI enables a continuum where inference and learning tasks are distributed and collaboratively executed. This approach supports a wide range of novel applications developed by, for, and with connected vehicles. At the same time, disruptions and large-scale outages of communication infrastructure represent a realistic threat to mission-critical systems and can significantly impact daily life. Insights gained from past natural disasters have highlighted both key vulnerabilities and potential solution spaces. Accordingly, we also discuss strategies to enhance the resilience of collaborative intelligence systems.

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has partnered with a leading technology company to establish the Emerging Microelectronics and Ubiquitous Systems Laboratory (EMUS Lab), focusing on AI, robotics, high-performance computing, and advanced microelectronics. At the opening ceremony, Professor David Srolovitz, Dean of HKU Engineering, signed an MoU with the industry partner to strengthen collaboration in research, innovation, engineering development, and global supply chains.

Professor Ngai WONG, Director of EMUS Lab and Associate Professor in HKU's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, highlighted the laboratory's focus on next-generation computing-in-memory chips, brain-inspired AI, and brain-computer interface technologies. The team will explore applications that integrate human cognition with robotics, supporting emerging developments in humanoid robotics worldwide. Beyond research and innovation, EMUS Lab is committed to nurturing future technology talent through STEM outreach initiatives and robotics programmes for local and international students. Looking ahead, Professor Wong hopes to extend these programmes to primary school students, making cutting-edge technology more accessible and inspiring greater interest in innovation from an early age.

🧑🏼‍💻 從繪製立體的世界，到重建它所發出的光🔮✨
👩🏼‍💻 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝟑𝐃 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐈𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬🔮✨

💡想像一下如果全息顯示不只是讓影像「看起來立體」，而是能重現光在場景中的傳播方式，會是怎樣的體驗？香港大學電機與計算機工程系的研究團隊近期發表以下兩項成果，進一步推動電腦生成全息技術由「繪製立體影像」邁向「重建光的傳播」。雖然仍屬研究原型，但已為未來虛擬實境（VR）及擴增實境（AR）全息顯示提供值得期待的發展路線。

📍刊於 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 的 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆，直接利用多邊形網格生成全息圖。透過保留連續幾何、可見性、紋理、振幅與相位，系統能夠呈現自然的焦點轉換、視差，以及隨觀看位置改變的遮擋關係。

📍刊於 𝘈𝘊𝘔 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘴，並於 SIGGRAPH 2026 發表的 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿，則把路徑追蹤帶進波動光學。它能將反射、折射、光澤材質與全局光照直接編碼到複數光波場之中。

💡What if a holographic display could do more than make images look 3D, and instead recreate how light behaves in the real world? Two recent works from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU ECE) explore this vision through a unified graphics-to-wave pipeline. Together, the two projects move computer-generated holography beyond rendering images of 3D scenes towards reconstructing how light propagates through them. These are still research prototypes, but they offer a promising route toward more physically faithful holographic displays for future Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) systems.

📍𝗠𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝘆, published in 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴, generates holograms directly from polygon meshes. By preserving continuous geometry, visibility, texture, amplitude, and phase, it enables natural focus transitions, parallax, and view-dependent occlusion.

📍𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿, published in 𝘈𝘊𝘔 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘴 and presented at SIGGRAPH 2026, brings path tracing into wave optics. It encodes reflections, refractions, glossy materials, and global illumination directly into complex wave fields.
