“I’m very hopeful that we will receive VR submissions this year for simulations and video games, because those two areas are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We would like to present innovative new VR projects through our submissions that use existing technologies in clever, creative, and exciting new ways — with presentations that go beyond the traditional techniques that are currently available today,” said Cris Cheng, Real-Time Live! Chair for 2017, and a Lab Technician at Technicolor.
The deadline to submit a project to Real-Time Live! is 4 April 2017. To submit, please visit: http://s2017.siggraph.org/real-time-live-submissions.
