Abstract

Computer graphics research and hardware has matured as a field to the point that high-quality computer graphics is becoming ubiquitous. Computer graphics shortly will be where word processing is today: everyone uses it, but there are very few people doing basic research in word processing. All of the challenges lie in the applications and use of this technology to enable advances in many fields. This panel will combine experts in computer graphics and associated technology with experts from a few applications areas to discuss the possibilities and future ways that computer graphics can advance discovery in many fields.
