SIGGRAPH Family

SIGGRAPH (short for Special Interest Group on GRAPHics and Interactive Techniques) is the name of the annual conference on computer graphics (CG) convened by the ACM SIGGRAPH organization.

... a road from 2D to 3D (often seen as a branch of computer vision)

How CG change the world?

Gaming, 3D virtual reality, photography, animation, digital storytelling, creative self-expression, medical imaging, scientific visualization, CAD, etc.

This talk will guide you to look into the fantasy of computer graphics technologies that are actively pursued in frontier!

Research In 3D Animation

3D Rendering

3D Geometry Modeling

• Physically-Based (to create a virtual world)
• Non-photorealistic Rendering (with application to medical visualization, art painting synthesis)

• Solid object representation
• Surface Subdivision
• Registration and Matching
• Shape Analysis

Combine All Of Them

• Bottom-neck: Trade-off between quality and performance
• Evaluation: "Cheating" the eyes
• Future: Ease the interaction using innovative devices

3D Simulation and Interaction

• fire, fluid, smoke and sands
• artificial deformation
• facial animation
• collisions and fracture
