Upcoming Events

On January 14, 2026, at 8:00 pm Eastern, the ACM SIGGRAPH Pioneers will present the next in our year-round series of panels on topics of importance to the computer graphics and interactive techniques communities.

Panelists have been selected to provide a diverse overview on how computer graphics, 3D printing, AR, VR and AI have evolved and are being used today in the medical profession. Topics vary from the earliest work in molecular visualization to creating animation for surgical techniques for Abbot, Medtronic, and Johnson & Johnson using software like Maya, ZBrush, V-Ray and Unreal, to the 3D design and manufacture of prosthetic limbs, to developing video games for physical therapy, interactive training for nurses, and AI-powered immersive platforms and technical standards for XR in healthcare.

The Panel is open to all ACM/SIGGRAPH Pioneers and their associates, you can register at this zoom link:
