Graphics Seminar

Time and place: Fridays 3:00-5:00 PM, room 1221 (large conference room).

Contact: Olga Sorkine

Weekly meeting to present and discuss SIGGRAPH-type of research, i.e. core graphics, geometric modeling, computational photography, interactive techniques, NPR, etc. Each week one of the participants presents a paper or a whole topic. Snack duty is on the presenter.
