SIGGRAPH Asia 2018 was held from 4 to 7 December 2018 in Tokyo, Japan. This year, the Hong Kong Chapter, the Shanghai Chapter and the Chengdu Chapter collaborated to rent a booth in the event to promote our professional chapters.
On 5 Dec, PSCC organized a Chapters Workshop presenting the IT Services and Volunteer Recognition Policy.
A networking dinner was held with the leaders of the Shanghai Chapter and the Chengdu Chapter.
This year, we had about 100 students from Hong Kong joining the SIGGRAPH Asia 2018 and they were impressed with the events including the keynote speeches, art gallery, electronic theatre, and emerging technologies session etc..
One of our students (Wong Wing Tung) was selected to be a student volunteer to help serving the attendees for 20 hours at the conference site. In return, she received a full conference pass to experience the conference in her free time. She was pleased to have a chance to meet face-to-face with many industry pioneers, professionals and fellow peers from all over the world.
The following are some interesting demos showcasing in the Emerging Technologies session of the SIGGRAPH Asia 2018.
