1999 ACM Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics
Accepted Papers

April 26-28, 1999 Sheraton Colony Square Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The bi-annual ACM Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics has become a traditional forum for presenting the most innovative ideas, techniques, experiments, and research results in interactive design, viewing, and manipulation of 3D models. Challenges for 1999 include user effectiveness, content creation, model complexity, animation, and internet access.

The following papers have been accepted to the conference. A more complete program will be posted when finalized.
