Blog SIGGRAPH 2005: Microsoft Research Advancing State of the Art in Computer Graphics.
August 9th, 2005By Rob Knies
Featuring 16 paper presentations: almost one-sixth of the total selected, and a particularly prolific complement of studies from its Asia lab, Microsoft Research was a key player during SIGGRAPH 2005, the 32nd International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, which ran from July 31 through Aug. 4 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
George Lucas, world-renowned director, producer, and screenwriter, provided the Aug. 1 keynote address for SIGGRAPH, the world’s leading computer-graphics conference.
Hugues Hoppe, a Microsoft Research senior researcher who in 2004 was named the recipient of the Computer Graphics Achievement Award, served as chair for the Aug. 2 session on “meshes,” a method for representing the underlying geometry of three-dimensional images.
Nine of the 16 Microsoft Research papers accepted for presentation during SIGGRAPH 2005 came from Microsoft Research Asia. Eleven of the 16 represented collaborations with universities from around the world, including Zhejiang University, the University of Oslo, Technion (the Israel Institute of Technology), Harvard University, the University of Washington, Tsinghua University, Yale University, Nankai University, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, National Taiwan University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Computing Technology, and the California Institute of Technology.
