Technical Papers
The SIGGRAPH Technical Papers program is the premier international forum for disseminating new scholarly work in computer graphics and interactive techniques. At the conference, paper authors provide brief overviews of their work in the Technical Papers Fast Forward event, then they present their complete papers in 22.5-minute sessions that include 4.5 minutes of Q&A.
Technical Papers are published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics. In addition to papers selected by the SIGGRAPH 2012 Technical Papers Jury, the conference presents papers that have been published in ACM Transactions on Graphics during the past year.
Disc 1 of the Full Conference DVD-ROM publication contains content from all
documented conference programs, and the first nine Technical Papers sessions' content.
Disc 2 of
the Full Conference DVD-ROM publication contains the remaining twelve Technical Papers sessions' content.
