Watch as the best of the best in real-time graphics and interactivity come together for a live showcase and competition. From mobile games to console games to virtual and augmented reality, creators of cutting-edge real-time graphics will give you a look under the hood of their creations and share the techniques they use to achieve jaw-dropping results.

The Technical Communications program is a premier forum for presenting the latest developments and research still in progress. Leading international experts in academia and industry present work that showcase actual implementations of research ideas, works at the crossroads of computer graphics with computer vision, machine learning, HCI, VR, CAD, visualization, and many others.
A Technical Communication combines a short format written document with an oral presentation where presenters can interact with leading international experts in academia and industry.

The Technical Papers program is the premier international forum for disseminating new scholarly work in computer graphics and interactive techniques. Technical Papers are published as a special issue of ACM Transactions on Graphics. In addition to papers selected by the SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 Technical Papers Jury, the conference presents papers that have been published in ACM Transactions on Graphics during the past year. Accepted papers adhere to the highest scientific standards.

Technical Papers Fast Forward – A 2-hour preview session of all Technical Papers will also be held on the first day of the event where author(s) of each paper get less than a minute to wow the attendees with a brief overview of their work. More details on the Date/Time of this Fast Forward session to be announced.

(New!) Best Technical Papers Awards – For the first time at SIGGRAPH Asia, awards will be presented to the Best Technical Papers.

XR is a juried exhibition within the Experience Hall that showcases novel VR, AR, MR prototype systems and/or innovative content with off-the-shelf consumer products and software such as Unity or Unreal Engine. There will also be scheduled presentations for submitters to explain the concepts behind these novel technologies.

Extended Reality (XR) refers to all environments that combine real and virtual elements generated by computer technology. It includes representative forms such as Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR). XR is a superset which includes the entire spectrum from “the complete real” to “the complete virtual” in the reality–virtuality continuum.
