SIGGRAPH 2021 Emerging Technologies Demonstrate Pandemic PerseveranceCHICAGO, June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SIGGRAPH 2021 reveals the lineup of 14 projects chosen for its Emerging Technologies program, which offers virtual participants a first look at compelling new experiences and their enabling technologies. Along with video presentations, selected projects for 2021 will also have short technical papers available to conference participants — offering even more ways to explore. The live event will run 9–13 August, with content available online and on-demand from 2 August through 29 October. Emerging Technologies offers participants a first look at compelling new experiences and their enabling technologies. "SIGGRAPH 2021 Emerging Technologies shows that despite the pandemic, significant advances were made in interactive techniques and computer graphics," shared SIGGRAPH 2021 Emerging Technologies Chair Paul Dietz. "In fact, a number of the projects selected for the virtual conference were inspired by the desire to connect people who could not be physically together during this past year." The SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies program has a long history of providing a glimpse into the future of computer graphics and interactive techniques. That tradition continues in 2021 with an outstanding program that features virtual exhibits from universities and corporations — such as Nvidia and Princeton University, among others — and covers a broad range of topics. What is it like to play games against an intelligent swarm of drones? Can you really alter the taste of wine by changing how heavy it feels? How do you operate a touch screen during a pandemic when you are afraid to touch it? In addition to answering these questions, the 2021 program highlights include: Behind the Game: Implicit Spatio-temporal Intervention in Inter-personal Remote Physical Interactions on Playing Air Hockey Reverse Pass-Through VR Augmented Reality Representation of Virtual User Avatars Moving in a Virtual Representation of the Real World at Their Respective Real World Locations Demonstrating Touch&Fold: A Foldable Haptic Actuator for Rendering Touch in Mixed Reality Emerging Technologies is open to the Ultimate and Enhanced registration levels.
