SIGGRAPH 1992: G-Tech

Conference:

SIGGRAPH 1992

G-Tech Chair:

• Branko J. Gerovac - Digital Equipment Corporation

Technical Director:

• John Huszar - Designer Visuals

Subcommittee Member(s):

• Edwin (Ed) Catmull - Pixar
• Coco Conn - Homer & Associates
• Tom A. DeFanti - University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)
• James E. George - Integrated Software Systems Corporation
• John Grimes - Illinois Institute of Technology
• John M. Fujii - Hewlett-Packard
• Bruce H. McCormick - Texas A&M University
• Alan V. Norton - IBM Corporation

Overview:

G-Tech goes beyond the limits. It shows off the newest and latest work in interactive computer graphics and expands on SIGGRAPH’s special demonstrations, hypermedia exhibits, and virtual reality encounters. Decide for yourself what the “G” in G-Tech means… is it guerrilla, groovy, germinal, gimmicky, grand, gutsy, glamorous, gritty, graphic, or great? Is it all of the above or something else? You really won’t know until you experience it.
