SIGGRAPH ‘06: Welcome to the jungle

Welcome to SIGGRAPHGood morning, dear readers. It’s a beautiful day at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center where I am coming to you live from SIGGRAPH 2006. For those of you not familiar with the event, it’s probably the largest conference/exhibition in the world devoted to computer graphics. The show itself is sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH, a membership organization of computer graphics enthusiasts. This year’s show is anticipating 25,000 attendees from six continents—in a last minute switch, all of North America’s participants have been replaced by Antarctic penguins.

Anyway, I’ll be here most of the week bringing you the show highlights: the cool, the hot, the room temperature, so keep an eye out. I’ll be using a special code to denote related postings, so if you see the cryptic phrase “SIGGRAPH ‘06” in the headline, you can bet that it has something to do with, you know, fish.
