At SIGGRAPH 2019, postPerspective TV shot interviews at our booth and around the show floor, all in an effort to deliver SIGGRAPH to those who couldn’t make the trip to Los Angeles and to those who were at the show but couldn’t see it all.
We hope you enjoy our extensive coverage of
new technology, upcoming products and industry
trends. It will be time well spent.
This is the first of our two SIGGRAPH 2019 video newsletters.
