SIGGRAPH 2009 chair Ronen Barzel sits down with CGSociety to talk about the upcoming conference, and some of the new stuff we’ll be seeing this year.

SIGGRAPH 2009 is ’embracing’, ‘opening up’ into new areas like Visual Computing, Sound and Music, and GameJam! We’re not leaving behind the core areas of computer graphics and interactive techniques, nor all the elements that make SIGGRAPH great. But as technology and our understanding continue to advance, Computer Graphics interacts more and more with other fields and other senses, and so we want to make sure to open up to those.
