SIGGRAPH 2009 Technical Papers Announced

SIGGRAPH has announced some of the papers that will appear in the Technical Papers program, and it’s a pretty impressive collection.

Papers cover core topics of computer graphics, such as modeling, animation, rendering, imaging, and human-computer interaction, and also explore related fields of audio, robotics, visualization, and perception. Presenters are from all around the globe – from the Czech Republic to Japan.

The list so far:

• UC Berkeley & UNC Chapel Hill – Interactive Simulation of Surgical Needle Insertion and Steering
• MIT – Bokode: Imperceptible Visual Tags for Camera-based Interaction from a Distance
• NYU – Dark Flash Photography
• MIT, Adobe, and UW – Real-Time Hand-Tracking with a Color Glove
• Cornell – Harmonic Fluids
• ILM – Directable, High-Resolution Simulation of Fire on the GPU

Looks like a good group, especially the ILM paper.
