Introduction to computer graphics

The SIGGRAPH Asia conference is an exciting event, but it is often a confusing experience for first-time attendees. There are many new terms, new concepts, and new products to try to understand. This course is designed to ease newcomers into the SIGGRAPH Asia conference experience by presenting the fundamental concepts and vocabulary at a level that can be readily understood. Far from being made up of dry facts, this course will also portray the fun and excitement that led most of us here in the first place. Attendees in the course will be well-prepared to understand, appreciate, enjoy, network, and learn from the rest of the SIGGRAPH experience.
