The Big Challenges
for Interactive Computer Graphics
There are big challenges and little challenges in computer
graphics. The big challenges are the ones that change our
world, and that we remember for the rest of our lives. Who
can forget the first time they saw a believable CG character,
or environment, or major new effect? But who can remember
the 100th or 1000th time they saw the same thing?
This talk
looks back on some of the big moments in computer graphics
of the last 25 years, reflects on how things that seem amazing
and impossible become commonplace, then, with the help of
videos of current cutting edge work, looks ahead to the big,
world-changing creative opportunities in real time, interactive
computer animation for games.
