Guest Editors´ Introduction: Emerging Technologies 2004

With more than 24,000 attendees annually, Siggraph attracts a variety of experts in industry, research, fine arts, and academia from across the globe. A unique and important part of Siggraph is the Emerging Technologies venue. While many conferences have a brief demonstration session, Emerging Technologies is much more. It runs the full length of the conference and has the feel of an art gallery or museum from some future world. This is the place to understand and experience first-hand the latest interactive technologies.
