Project Details
- "In computer graphics, history frames the possible, imagination paints the impossible, and passion fills in the rest. This history-mapping project recognizes the visionaries, explorers, artists, and pioners who have shaped the Emerging Technologies programs since 1991. It is today's starting point to 'what is next' and 'who might take us there.'"
- "The project idea grew from inspirations by ancient explorers' maps. Maps elegantly tell the story of exploration by revealing the fluid edges of 'the known' and 'unknown' and providing a visual context for 'where to explore next.'"
- "The final results reveal a compelling look at evolution and revolution in action. The data follow journeys of now familiar themes such as hypertext, virtual reality, visualization, distributed interaction, simulation, avatars, spatial sound, autonomous agents, communities, telepresence, machine recognition, tangible interfaces, and immersive sensory feedback."
- "We believe that this project will be an ongoing community effort to appreciate and build upon SIGGRAPH's heritage."
