SIGGRAPH 2016 Conference Chair Mona Kasra, said, “We are designing this year’s event for those who are truly passionate about the interconnection and collaboration between graphics, interactivity, enhanced and virtual realities, games, mobile, robotics, digital art and visualization. For more than 40 years, SIGGRAPH’s goal has been to inspire, educate, and exemplify innovative approaches to the various global communities that co-exist within the arenas of computer graphics and interactive technologies. In 2016, our slogan is to ‘Render the Possibilities’ – so this year, we will celebrate the transformational capabilities that arise when systems, unprecedented ideas and revolutionary techniques intermingle. These possibilities are limitless, and can give birth to inspiring creativity, breathtaking new art forms and never-before-seen uses of technology.”
