This July 24 at an exclusive lunch during Siggraph, Jon Peddie will lead a panel of high-profile CG experts in a lively debate:

GRAPHICS: Are We Done Yet? (And if no, why not?)

Computer graphics has progressed amazingly in the last two years to the point where the press is saying, "Games outsell movies and can you tell the difference anymore?" Might we have obtained "good enough" computer graphics? Are we at the knee of diminishing returns? And what does this mean for the many industries using CG today, such as entertainment, games, advertising and simulation?

Find out what the industry leaders are saying: Get up close and personal with our panel of industry experts headed by Dr. Jon Peddie of Jon Peddie Research www.jonpeddie.com, and including:

• ATI—Andy Thompson, Director of Advanced Technology Marketing

• NVIDIA—Kurt Akeley, Founder, SGI

• DreamWorks—Ed Leonard, Head of CG Technology for Dreamworks/Pacific Data Images

• Exluna—Beth Loughney, Vice President

• SoftImage—Michael Sheasby, Director of Business Development
