Computer Graphics Workshop (update)

[Spencer W. Thomas]

The registration deadline for this exciting workshop is approaching
fast.  More importantly, the deadline for the hotel is October 30,
only a few short days away.

I have always enjoyed attending these workshops, the small size means
that you have time to really talk to the authors and other attendees
(in contrast with SIGGRAPH, which is a total zoo these days).
Besides, Monterey is such an enjoyable place to be in November.

There has been one change to the agenda -- the closing talk will be
given by David Zeltzer of the MIT Media Lab instead of Jaron Lanier of
VPL Research.

Interesting talks, relaxed atmosphere, good company, pleasant
environment -- what more could you ask for?

So register now!  A convenient registration form is attached to this
message.

5th USENIX Computer Graphics Workshop

November 16-17, 1989, Doubletree Hotel, Monterey, CA

     The theme of the workshop is "personal graphics."  By this, we mean the
use of computer graphics to aid, benefit, or amuse a single person.  Generally,
personal graphics applications are highly interactive, so that the user has a
great deal of control over the result.  Furthermore, the graphics is frequently
not an end product, but is instead a communication medium between the user and
computer.

     The presentations in this workshop span a wide range of applications and
platforms, and range from the immediately practical to the visionary.  Several
of the presentations will include video tapes of interactive systems, and we
hope to also have some live demos.  Plenty of time will be included in the
schedule for interaction between attendees and speakers.

     The Workshop Chair is Spencer W. Thomas, University of Michigan.
