Introduction: computer graphics

Abstract

This issue of Crossroads is devoted to computer graphics. We offer an array of research articles demonstrating the breadth of the field. The first one, titled "SIGGRAPH 2006: Exploring the Art and Science of Computer Graphics," written by a computer science freshman at Stanford University, is devoted to the 33rd International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques. It relates the highlights of the meeting and outlines the key points of interest for a college student.
