Siggraph stuff

Saw the keynote speech given by George Lucas. Apparently he finds anime interesting and when talking about the tv shows he is going to produce based off the Star Wars universe, he called the live action one live action.

( Electronic Theater stuff, cut for the unlikely chance someone who read my journal will be seeing the Tuesday one )

Guerilla Studio
This is where I am working at Siggraph. It basically is a place where attendees can come in and play with some of the technology they will see on display on the exhibition floor.
-In the 3D area (where I am at)...
--3d face scans (what I'm doing)
--laser scanning of small models
--a haptic sculting tool (think force feedback while doing virtual sculpting)
--rapid prototyping (create a plastic object of some volume you have in the computer)
--laser engraving
-Other areas (well some of the other areas)
--high quality 2D prints (banner size prints at > photo quality)
--a buttload of computers(both PCs and Macs) loaded with the latest of graphics programs.
--motion capture
--making holograms
--nail printer
--Cyber Fashion show (well not much to them until the cyber fashion show on Wed.).
