"When Real is Not Enough: The Quest to Digitally Simulate Reality".
Historically, the holy grail of the computer graphics community has been to create highly realistic images that simulate lifelike environments, objects and characters. As advances in photorealism and realtime display race ahead, we can begin to wonder further. Will digital imagery eventually immerse and transport us to a holographic, alternate phantasm? Let's turn an examining light on this energetic, unselfconscious quest.
We will rewind and fast-forward our thoughts on the topic with experts from the CGI, gaming and film communities.
