CCT Staff to Showcase Innovations in Digital Media at SIGGRAPH Conference
CCT will host a booth at the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, or SIGGRAPH, 2007 convention in San Diego Aug. 7-9 to display projects involving computerized graphics, visualization and animation. SIGGRAPH is the premier conference to showcase new developments in digital media. The CCT staff will show competition screenings from the 2007 Red Stick International Animation Festival at the booth. Staff members also will give demonstrations of tangible and embedded interaction -- an emerging field of technology that manipulates physical objects (e.g., paper, blocks, furniture and clothing) to make them interfaces for digital information and scientific visualization. CCT also will provide information about Chief Scientist Thomas Sterling's groundbreaking computer science course that is taught at LSU and broadcast using high-definition television and high-speed networks to locations around the world. The Baton Rouge Area Digital Industries Consortium will join CCT at SIGGRAPH to promote economic development opportunities for digital media businesses in the state and city. The consortium, which is led by CCT and comprised of LSU Office for Research & Economic Development, the Mayor-President's Office, Baton Rouge Area Foundation and Baton Rouge Area Chamber, is working to show the entertainment industry Baton Rouge is a lucrative area to locate video game design, animation, rendering and other digital media endeavors. The consortium is an outgrowth of CCT's Red Stick International Animation Festival. Pats on the Back:
• A paper by Manuel Tiglio and Oliver Sarbach, “Boundary Conditions for Einstein's Field Equations: Mathematical and Numberical Analysis†is a Top Accessed Article in the Journal of Hyperbolic Differential Equations. • Students from five area high schools are on campus this week to take part in CCT's first High-Performance Computing Boot Camp. A banquet to honor the participants in the first camp will take place this Thursday, Aug. 2, at 6 p.m. in the Magnolia Room. Lectures This Week:
