First thing in the morning – “Digital Art Techniques” – where artists such as Kenneth Huff<\/a> talked about their artistic approach and their experience bridging Science, Computer Graphics and Art. Their testimony provided invaluable insight into the elaborate thought process behind electronic art pieces too often difficult to make sense of.<\/p>\n

In the afternoon – “Interactions Tomorrow” was a great occasion to review the latest advances in user interfaces, from multi-touch devices to tablets and even walls. Diamond Touch<\/em> from Mitsubishi’s MERL laboratory was particularly interesting to try on the Exhibition floor later on.<\/p>\n

The last talk of the day, titled “Vogue!”, featured papers around the capture and representation of cloth, with applications to virtual fashion. One of the talks “High Fashion in Equations” showed an attempt at recreating ancient haute couture garments and show them in motion as a way to preserve them digitally (the originals being too fragile to be used on models anymore). That paper was also part of the selected papers at the Electronic Theatre.<\/p>\n

The official reception was an occasion for everybody to meet and share experiences from the past few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
