Technical Papers

The SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers program is the premier international forum for disseminating new scholarly work in computer graphics and interactive techniques. At the conference, paper authors provide brief overviews of their work in the Technical Papers Fast Forward event, then they present their complete papers in the sessions.

Technical Papers are published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics. In addition to papers selected by the SIGGRAPH Asia 2017 Technical Papers Jury, the conference presents papers that have been published in ACM Transactions on Graphics during the past year.
