SIGGRAPH2009 has released a preview video of what you can see in the Technical Papers session.. A cliff notes version:

  • Coordinates for Instant Image Cloning
  • PatchMatch: A Randomized Correspondence algorithm for Structural Image Editing
  • Content Preserving Warps for 3D Video Stabilization
  • The Un-Mouse Pad – An Interpolating Multi-Touch Force Sensing Input Pad
  • Contact-aware Nonlinear Control of Dynamic Characters
  • Harmonic Fluids
  • Deforming Meshes that Split and Merge
  • and a whole slew of new ways to mutilate bunnies.

Looks like a good collection of papers this year.
