Houston Area SIGGRAPH

SIGGRAPH is the Special Interest Group (SIG) on Computer Graphics. and Interactive Techniques within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

Our scope is to promote the acquisition and exchange of information and opinion on the theory, design, implementation, and application of computer-generated graphics and interactive techniques.

Houston Area SIGGRAPH is a local Professional Chapter for ACM/SIGGRAPH. The Professional Chapters form an international multi-cultural network of like minded people who throughout the year develop, continue and extend the work and achievements that are presented at the annual ACM/SIGGRAPH Conference. They form the ACM/SIGGRAPH Global Network.
