Bio:

SIGGRAPH 1999

Dr. Deering has made contributions to the field of 3D graphics in both hardware and software. His early work on geometry compression included both algorithms for compressing geometry and hardware designs for real-time decompression of geometry. His other work Includes hardware rendering accelerators, 3D RAM, Java 3D, and virtual reality systems, and has authored several dozen patents in these areas.
