SIGGRAPH 1992
Eileen McGinnis is a Director in Engineering Business Development at Sun Microsystems. Over the last 13 years, she has been involved in many efforts to produce graphics API/systems, including real-time motion, video, realistic rendering, imaging and color-support systems. She has been active in the development of many vendor-defined immediate mode graphics interfaces, and in the public definitions of Core, GKS, GKS-3D, PHIGS, PHIGS+, PEX and Renderman. Eileen is the head of the US delegation to ISO in the area of Graphics APIs.
SIGGRAPH 1991
Eileen has been actively involved in the development of graphics interfaces since 1978, and currently serves as the head of the US delegation developing PHIGS PLUS within ISO. She has been with Sun Microsystems for 4 years where she has been in charge of the development of the Graphics API’s. At Sun she is currently developing an architectural framework for the integration of graphics and other media. Eileen holds an MS in Computer Science and Mathematics from Stanford.
