Description:
This animated timeline highlights significant computer graphics and interactive technique-related achievements, innovations, creative breakthroughs, and other events since the first SIGGRAPH conference in 1974. There are eight different categories: Awards, Organizations, SIGGRAPH Accomplishments, Applications, Software and Hardware development, Animation and Art and Design. The 1500+ entries were added by a large group of pioneers, artists, SIGGRAPH volunteers, industry specialists, educators, and community members. The group collaborated during a series of Timeline-a-thon meetings and reached out to their communities for input. This timeline represents not only the diverse history of the field of computer graphics and interactive techniques, but also showcases the spirit of innovation and creativity of the people involved in this community.
