SIGGRAPH 2007 will bring an estimated 25,000
computer graphics and interactive technology
professionals from six continents to San
Diego, California, USA for the industry's
most respected technical and creative
programs focusing on research, science, art,
animation, gaming, interactivity, education,
and the web from 5-9 August at the San Diego
Convention Center.
Today's technological innovations will change
the way we work, live, and play in the
future, often in unexpected ways. The
SIGGRAPH 2007 Emerging Technologies program
will feature more than 30 exhibits, spanning
the realm of technology.

| one laptop per child XO prototype at siggraph 2007 |
 |
matthew hockenberry of
http://creativesynthesis.net demonstrates the
one laptop per child's fourth production
prototype of the 'hundred-dollar laptop' at
siggraph 2007 - video by leonardo bonanni of
hyperexperience.com
FAQ:
-Yes, this is the hundred dollar laptop
-No, you can't buy one - they are only sold
to governments in minimum orders of one
million
-It actually costs about $140
-It is made by a private non-profit company
based in Cambridge MA USA
-There is no hand-crank, but a variety of
generators are being prototyped including a
foot-pedal and a pull-string

| Blender Siggraph 2006 demoreel |
 |
-- extract from www.blendernation.com --
It's that time of the year again! Just before
Siggraph we publish a compilation of the
greatest Blender work to show the rest of the
world what we've been up to and what Blender
is capable of.
This year, Ton asked Bart to use only
animations for the compilation. It made
Bart's life a bit easier (less edits to
make), but it is also a bit disappointing
that so many great stills did not get
included. More on this on
www.blendernation.com
In the video you'll find some samples of
Blender character animation, architectural
visualisation, commercials, technical demos,
realtime content.
Like last year the music was composed for the
video by Jan Morgenstern. Jan also created
the music and sound effects for last year's
Siggraph Demoreel. It was a pleasure to work
with you again, Jan!
Congratulations to everyone whose work was
selected, good luck watching, and enjoy the
show!

| Skorpions (Siggraph video) |
 |
SKORPIONS are a collection of kinetic
electronic garments that use the shape-memory
alloy Nitinol to move and change on the body
in slow, organic motions. They have
anthropomorphic qualities and can be imagined
as parasites that inhabit the skin of the
host. They are living behavioral kinetic
sculptures that exploit characteristics such
as control, anticipation, and
unpredictability. SKORPIONS integrate
electronic fabrics, soft circuits, custom
circuit boards, Nitinol, mechanical actuators
such as magnets, and traditional textile
construction techniques. The cut of the
pattern, the seams, and other construction
details become an important component of
engineering design. SKORPIONS are not
interactive: their programming does not
respond to sensor data. SKORPIONS reference
the history of garments as instruments of
pain and desire. They shift and modulate
personal and social space by imposing
physical constraints on the body. They alter
behavior, by hiding or revealing hidden
layers, inviting others inside the protective
shells of fabric, erecting breathable walls,
or tearing themselves open to divulge hidden
secrets.
XS Labs is a Montreal-based design research
studio with a focus on innovation in the
fields of electronic textiles, reactive
garments, and wearable computing. We look at
both the technical and the cultural history
of how textiles have been made for
generations (weaving, stitching, embroidery,
knitting, beading, quilting) but use
materials with different electro-mechanical
properties, which enables us to construct
more complex textiles with electronic
properties. http://www.xslabs.net
