Abstract:
Individual experiences and historical events that serve as a catalyst for the recent Black Lives Matter movement and the disproportionate effect of the Pandemic on the Black community are rarely understood or discussed by the broader community. The focus of this panel is to provide insight into these topics and also solicit ideas of how the SIGGRAPH community can help in educating people in creative ways like leveraging immersive technologies or designing games and characters that address some of these issues.
