Marvelous Designer booth: elephant plushes, and the pattern used to create them!
Emerging technologies
The Emerging Technologies area is another must-see at SIGGRAPH. Very diverse and innovative projects.
We especially liked VR Retrospective: you could dive into the History of VR, hear Ivan Sutherland (one of the fathers of VR, who also worked on Sketchpad, the ancestor of CAD solutions), discover his 1968 lab, in which some of the earliest VR systems were born.
Lots of people wanted to experience these demos.
This is the end of this article, but we’ll publish more articles about SIGGRAPH 2013 in the coming days, including a few interviews. Stay tuned!
