Educator’s Forum

Those who do, teach. SIGGRAPH 2019's Educator’s Forum aims to inspire those who teach, from K-12 through undergraduate and graduate programs, with ideas from industry, research, and academia.

Program Content

The Educator’s Forum offers a carefully tailored program for educators.

The Educator’s Forum offers a carefully tailored program for educators.
The Educator’s Forum is devoted entirely to content for educators, allowing you to optimize your conference experience and recharge for the upcoming school year.

Returning to this year’s conference are the Groovy Graphics Assignments, where each is meant to be ready for Educators to use in the classroom. Also returning to this year’s conference is the popular collaboration with ACM Special Interest Group Computer Science Education (SIGCSE), where content from SIGCSE will be re-presented at SIGGRAPH 2019. Similarly, education-related content from SIGGRAPH 2019 will be invited to be reprised at SIGCSE 2020 in a reciprocal program.

2013: Technical Papers

AIREAL: Interactive Tactile Experiences in Free Air

A tactile feedback device that delivered effective and expressive tactile sensations in free air, without requiring the user to wear a physical device. Combined with interactive graphics and applications, AIREAL enabled users to feel virtual objects, experience free-air textures and receive haptic feedback with free-space gestures.

2014: Emerging Technologies

Birdly

Birdly was an installation that explored the experience of a bird in flight. Unlike a common flight simulator, users do not control a machine. Instead, they embody a bird, the Red Kite. To evoke this embodiment, the system relied on sensory-motor coupling. Participants controlled the simulator with hands and arms, and a head-mounted display provided a first-person perspective of a bird.
