Accessibility is an integral part of the exciting, inclusive future SIGGRAPH helps facilitate and this year's organizers are thrilled to showcase - through the all-new Adaptive Technology focus area - how virtual and augmented reality, as well as other new technologies, are shaping possibilities of the future and enhancing lives. "While this may be the first year of SIGGRAPH's Adaptive Technology focus area, the conference is no stranger to showcasing content with adaptive implications," said SIGGRAPH 2019 Adaptive Technology Co-chair Natalie Rountree. "It has been a pleasure to work alongside my fellow SIGGRAPH 2019 committee chairs to elevate these important innovations. For those seeking some history, Dylan, my co-chair, and I have also created an interactive touchscreen for the Experience Hall that will offer a peek into past adaptive tech at SIGGRAPH." From VR to 3D, incredible technological advancements are happening every day, offering new ways for technology to assist humans. Organizers of this year's conference encouraged and accepted submitted content with an emphasis on adaptive technology across many of its storied programs, including Art Papers, Courses, Emerging Technologies, Immersive Pavilion, Panels, Posters, Studio, and Talks. Adds SIGGRAPH 2019 Conference Chair Mikki Rose, "Our amazing SIGGRAPH community continues to create a foundation for new ways in which computer graphics and interactive techniques can help alternatively abled people in their day-to-day lives. I am so proud to shine a light on the potential applications of the future through this new focus area." Adaptive technology highlights at SIGGRAPH 2019 include:
