March 16 LA SIGGRAPH Meeting in REAL-TIME

Los Angeles ACM SIGGRAPH Presents:

We have an interesting evening planned for you on
Tuesday March 16, 2004.

We will have Dan Schmit from Engine Room demonstrating
"Real-Time Pre-Visualization using on-set filmmaking
technology that combines live action principal
photography and computer generated imagery including
3D sets and environments, characters and animated
objects in one effective "real-time" shooting event.

Kevin Bjorke from nVidia will speak about the next
generation of Cinematic Effects.  He will demonstrate
and discuss some of the newest applications for
high-end graphics in Real Time.

Barnabas Takacs the founder of Digital Elite will
present Real-Time virtual humans.  The latest advances
in real-time graphics hardware have created the
opportunity to create real-time responsive and
reactive synthetic humans that incorporate multiple
layers of non-verbal communication, body language and
gestures.

And to top it off two nVidia Quadro FX 500 boards will
be given away by PNY!


The evening is co-hosted by nVidia and PNY.
