Chicago, IL Studio sessions at SIGGRAPH 2013 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, offer a collaborative working environment and give attendees a chance to come together to learn, experiment, and create. Attendees can try out a wide range of new techniques and media in 3D printing, modeling, mobile devices, and animation software and get help from experienced hands.
Studio is a stand-out program at SIGGRAPH year after year, said Patricia Clark, SIGGRAPH 2013 Studio Chair from Arizona State University. Its an adult technology playground. Its more than just seeing the new technology and what it can produce, but attendees also have the chance to collaborate and work side-by-side with experienced professionals that they may not have ever had the chance to meet before.
Below are a few highlights of each facet of SIGGRAPH 2013s robust Studio sessions.
