ACM/IEEE Computer Graphics Film Show - October 18, 2018

The Princeton ACM / IEEE-CS chapters kick off our season of meetings with the annual computer graphics film show, featuring the latest and greatest computer-animated short films direct from the ACM SIGGRAPH conference held this summer. These films were selected for the juried Computer Animation Festival at the conference, to demonstrate advancements in graphics research, highlight creative visual effects, educate with scientific visualizations, and show the many uses of real-time game rendering engines. These films were created by large organizations and individuals, professional animators and students, on high-end clusters and ordinary personal computers. Prof. Szymon Rusinkiewicz will be providing commentary on the computer graphics techniques used in these films. Come and enjoy our most popular meeting of each year! As in the past, we will be co-celebrating Martin Gardner's 104th birthday by hosting a Celebration of Mind party (http://www.celebrationofmind.org/) as part of our meeting. Gardner (1914-2010) was the editor of the Mathematical Games column of Scientific American from 1956-1981, and we will be celebrating the things that delighted him - puzzles, games, math, magic and more! Plan to arrive at 7:30pm for refreshments and a special guest speaker, with the film show starting around 8:15pm. All Princeton ACM / IEEE-CS meetings are open to the public. Students and their parents are welcome. There is no admission charge, and refreshments are served. Date: Thursday, October 18, 2018, 8:15 pm (Refreshments, networking, and G4G at 7:30 pm) Place: Friend Center Auditorium, Room 101, Princeton University, Olden & William Streets On-line info: http://PrincetonACM.acm.org/
