- I wanted to let everyone on the comp.sys.sgi net know about some of the
- events happening at SIGGRAPH '92 next week relating to OpenGL.

- OpenGL Technology Demonstration
- Show Floor - Tuesday-Thursday
-
- There will be seven companies demonstrating OpenGL and IRIS GL
- running on a variety of PC and workstation based platforms.
- SGI, IBM, and DEC will be demonstrating OpenGL 1.0 in their
- respective booths. DEC will run an OpenGL interoperability demo
- connecting a DECStation to an IRIS Indigo. DuPont Pixel Systems
- will show IRIS GL for Sun SPARCStations. Nth Graphics will demo
- IRIS GL running on SPARCStations and HP Series 700 workstations.
- Interestingly, HP will have Nth in their SIGGRAPH booth, and Sun
- will have both Nth and DuPont running IRIS GL in their booth.
- In the SGI booth, we will demo OpenGL running under IRIX on a
- Blackjack Starter, and under Windows NT.

- OpenGL Special Interest Group
-
- The Special Interest Group meeting for OpenGL will be Wednesday

- 3D Graphics Standards Panel Debate: OpenGL vs PEX
- Friday 8:45AM - 10:15AM
-
- This should prove to be a lively discussion! Moderator Jim
- Foley from Georgia Tech hosts Kurt Akeley from SGI, Marty Hess
- from Sun, Jeff Stevenson from HP, Murray Cantor from IBM, and
- Mark Goldstein from SDRC in a lively panel debate on the
- technical and non technical merits of these competing
- technologies. Please come to the debate - all OpenGL
- supporters attending receive a free OpenGL t-shirt to wear
- at the debate.
-
- We are very excited about the support OpenGL is receiving in the
- PC and workstation markets as an multiplatform industry standard,
- and would be glad to see everyone visit the SGI booth to
- learn more about OpenGL!
-
- Please give me call at 415/390-1617 if you want more information.
