- The Washington D.C. Local SIGGRAPH Chapter is having their next meeting
- this Thursday, November 12, 7:30 PM at the George Washington
- University Northern Virginia Campus. The meeting will showcase new
- research and technology by the GW Computer Graphics Research Department
- headed by Prof. James Hahn. Members and prespective members welcome.
-
- Research at the Norther Virginia Campus encompasses technologies for
- sound rendering, 3D computer animation, photo-realistic image
- generation and virtual reality. Sound rendering was the topic of a
- paper at this year's SIGGRAPH'92. The sound-rendered video "Graphic
- Violence" was shown at SIGGRAPH'92 and at our September event
- "Electronic Theater ... After Dark on the Mall." GW Computer Graphics
- faculty and students will will present demonstrations of their
- research. An overview of the Computer Graphics curriculum will also be
- a part of the evening.
-
- Directions: The campus is located as 20101 Academic Way, Ashburn,
- Virginia. Take Beltway I-495 to Route 7 west. Follow Route 7 about 15
- miles west. Continue about one mile past Route 28 (a large cloverleaf
- exchange) and turn right at the sign for George Washington University.
- The GW building is the large brick building in the middle of a field.
- (There is another brick building closer the the road but that is the
- E-Systems facility - you don't want that!) Enter through the main
- lobby and there will be a sign to direct you to the appropriate room.
- GW phone: 703-729-8250.
