Computer Graphics Seminar—Fall 2008

CS 7690
Mondays, 12:15–1:15 pm
551 Rhodes Hall (PCG Conference Room)

The talks in the Graphics Seminar stem from current research, and they can be of various types:

A talk about a research project in progress, starting with the prior work and ending with current results and plans of what to do next.
A talk about a project that's still just an idea, covering the background and outlining a tentative plan of attack.
A presentation on a paper or set of papers that influenced your thinking in some way.
Some other kind of talk (e.g. "State of the art in X") that's of interest to people working in graphics.

Talks about research that is already written up and submitted are generally not allowed; you should present work in seminar when you are still ready to get feedback on it.
