The Toronto ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter was again a proud exhibitor at the IMMERSED conference, held by The Immersive Technology Alliance at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto on Oct. 4-6th, 2015. This year, the conference began once again with an immersive technology exhibition that was free and open to the public, followed by two days of exciting speakers.
We were excited to find ourselves sitting next to our good friend and SIGGRAPH Volunteer Jason Jerald! Jason is the Co-Founder and Principal Consultant of NextGen Interactions, a consulting firm specializing in Virtual Reality, and author of The VR Book: Perception and Interaction Design for Virtual Reality. He has volunteered at SIGGRAPH in many rolls, most notably as AR/VR Contest Lead in the most recent SIGGRAPH conference. We sat in good company!
We were also delighted to receive a visit from our most recent Chapter speaker, Baktash, sporting the SIGGRAPH 2016 T-shirt we gifted him! As we were all dressed in SIGGRAPH 2015 shirts, we joked that Baktash is a man of the future!
We’d like to once again thank Neil Schneider, President of Meant to Be Seen and Executive Director of The Immersive Technology Alliance, for his generous support of the Toronto ACM SIGGRAPH Chapter and for the opportunity to once again be a part of this exciting conference!
We hope to see you all again next year!
