“With our first visit to D.C., we are approaching our new host city as a unique opportunity to think beyond traditional ideas of computer graphics,” noted Pron. “We also hope to inspire connections across new and existing professional communities. My committee and I invite creators from around the world to challenge contemporary notions and expand the future of computer graphics and interactive techniques by sharing their groundbreaking projects this summer.”

Known as the place to debut new research in computer graphics and interactive techniques, the conference is also increasingly focused on real-time applications of existing technologies. Nowhere is this focus more apparent than through its Real-Time Live!, one-night-only event. In addition to seeking real-time demonstrations, SIGGRAPH 2020 will continue a focus area on adaptability for the second year, targeting technological advancements designed for people with disabilities.

Currently accepting submissions in multiple categories — such as projects showcasing computer graphics and interactive techniques applications in artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, ray tracing, animation, augmented reality, research, visual effects, and more — open programs and deadlines include:

  • 11 February – Appy Hour, Courses, Emerging Technologies, Groovy Graphics, Immersive Pavilion, Panels, Production Sessions, SIGGRAPH Labs, Student Volunteers, Talks, VR Theater
  • 17 March – Computer Animation Festival Electronic Theater
  • 7 April – Real-Time Live!
  • 28 April – Posters
