Abstract:
The 2023 SIGGRAPH Electronic Theater pre-show was a fun and spectacular live event that used computer vision to analyze how the 2500 audience members moved their bodies in the room, visualizing that data with a variety of graphics across three giant screens. The walk-in experience was an abstract and artistic representation of the data, followed by the main pre-show: a tour through the Universe, where the audience decided what celestial wonder to visit next. This session goes into the behind-the-scenes of how a dispersed, remote team of artists, programmers, producers, and astrophysicists pulled off this event, without ever stepping foot into the venue or having access to test audiences until on-site at SIGGRAPH.
