Computer Graphics Seminar

CS 718
Mondays, 3:30 - 4:45 pm
5126 Upson Hall

Last semester we had a good showing of students and staff talking about their research. Presentations could include:

Your research
Somebody else's research (a seminal paper in CG, and the work it has sparked off)
Topics relevant to CG. Examples: important mathematical techniques relevant to CG (wavelets, spherical harmonics, Monte Carlo, ...)
State of the art in X, where X could be interactive rendering, animation, acquisition hardware, surface modeling, hardware architecture, etc.
