A herd of graphics geeks. This picture was taken on Monday, before the exhibition opened, when there were only academic papers and courses going on. So the more "colorful" part of the crowd was not out in force yet. - IMG 3053
Behold! Companies, schwag seekers, job hunters, head hunters, and bored grad students gather at the exhibition, an orgy of big, colorful animated things; mostly cars and planes and breasts (know your audience). - IMG 3054
Nvidia was hawking there quadro cards. - IMG 3055
But they were upstaged by ATI, who has just integrated their fancy new Radeons into the pro-graphics card line "FireGL" - IMG 3056
The motion capture slave. There were several companies showing off their systems for capturing computer animation data from live-action. Each one of these booths had very tired looking dancers demonstrating the systems' efficacy. - IMG 3058

All the teachers now in class. During the morning when we're not teaching and all afternoon, we teachers become students again. Usually pretty bad ones. There's this decompressing period after you walk out of the classroom during which we are, for all intents and purposes, 13 years old ourselves. - CS session 3
Lots of group work. Lots of posters. - CS session
