ETC@USC will host its 8th vETC virtual conference at SIGGRAPH 2023 in Los Angeles, August 8-10. The event – which highlights significant presentations of emerging technologies and their impact on the M&E industry – will explore how generative AI, machine learning, and other compelling new tools help simplify building 3D worlds and tackle today’s computer vision challenges. Three days of sessions will be recorded and posted on ETC’s YouTube channel. For those attending SIGGRAPH who may be interested in attending the sessions (located at Z by HP Booth 215), visit the program guide, which includes a full schedule and speaker bios.

Support with key resources are provided by HP, Nvidia, Fuse Technical Group, and ROE Visual, with additional support from Sony, Blackmagic Design, The Studio – B&H, Cintegral, Wacom, Cooke Optics, SmallHD, Mo-Sys, and AWS.
