Proceedings of the ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games

Abstract

Welcome to the 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games! This year's symposium is being held March 21--23 in Walt Disney Resort, Orlando. I3D 2013 marks the 17th meeting of the symposium. Ever since its first meeting 27 years ago, I3D has been a vibrant, stimulating, and collegial meeting place for researchers, practitioners, students, and enthusiasts in the area of interactive computer graphics techniques. Along the way, I3D has evolved along with the field of interactive graphics. It has grown from a workshop held every other year into an annual symposium, and it has broadened its scope in several areas, including computer games. The I3D 2013 symposium, as in 2012, is collocated with IEEE Virtual Reality 2013 and the IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interface 2013. This collocation brought together these overlapping research groups successfully in 2012, and we hope this tradition continues and provides ample opportunity for sharing ideas and technologies between these three communities in which interactive graphics techniques play a central role.
