Sketches

This year''s Sketches program includes 132 selectively chosen presentations from a record-breaking 580 submissions.
The 20-minute Sketches cover a broad spectrum of topics in art, design, science, and engineering—providing provocative speculation, academic research,
industrial development, practical
tools, and behind-the-scenes explanations of both commercial and artistic works.

Sketches of interest include presentations
about the special effects used in Ice Age: The Melt Down, Cars, Over the Hedge, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and Poseidon. But, the 2006 offering will run the gamut, from showing the facial
animation capture and expressive translation system used for King Kong to quirkier pieces, such as a presentation
about a computer game that integrates
human-pet interaction.
