Abstract:


    The SIGGRAPH conference is an exciting event, but it is often an intimidating experience for first-time attendees. There are so many new terms, new concepts, and new products to understand. And all the simultaneous programs leave new attendees baffled and frustrated about how to spend their time.

    This course is designed to ease newcomers into the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 experience by presenting the fundamental concepts and vocabulary at a level that can be readily understood. Far from being made up of dry facts, this course also portrays the fun and excitement that led most of us to the SIGGRAPH conference in the first place. After the course, attendees will be well-prepared to understand, appreciate, enjoy, network in, and learn from the rest of the SIGGRAPH Asia experience.


Additional Information:


    Prerequisites
    A basic understanding of computers and algebra.

    Intended Audience
    The complete newcomer who wants to learn some of the basic terms and concepts in computer graphics, and receive some guidance on how to get the most out of attending SIGGRAPH Asia 2008.
