SIGGRAPH Asia 2009: Emerging Technologies
Overview:
- New forms of display technologies that put you right in the action, with realism, dimensions, and sensations you have never experienced before.
- Robots that one day could engage in human conversation or perform complex tasks we only dream of today.
- Amusements and entertainment that are far beyond even the wildest examples available on today’s games consoles.
- New forms of interaction that do not hide digital bits behind a glass screen, but put information literally on your fingertips.
- Compelling examples of how new digital technology can enable surprising forms of creativity far beyond the computer as we know it today.
Welcome to SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 Emerging Technologies! This is the place where you get to experience the future of computer graphics and interactive techniques first-hand. In Emerging Technologies, attendees get a glimpse of future technology before anyone else—technology that will shape the way we live, work, and play in the years to come:
Some of the most impressive breakthroughs in art and technology happen by considering the gaps and opportunities in the existing landscape – by adapting what we know to what might be. Now, as the world evolves with exponential speed, we need artists and scientists to show us the way.
The Emerging Technologies and Art Gallery exhibitions at SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 share the theme of Adaptation. In Emerging Technologies, attendees experience works that show how computer graphics and interactive techniques are evolving to adapt to new technical, social, and environmental conditions.
