Presentation
ACM SIGGRAPH Pioneers 2024 Featured Speakers Panel
DescriptionThis year for the first time, the Pioneers Featured Speakers presentation is open to all conference attendees! Our 2024 Featured Speakers are Mary Whitton and Nick England, who co-created the Ikonas Graphics Processor in 1978. Ikonas was the world’s first General-Purpose Graphics Processor Unit, which was crucial in almost every pioneering application of computer graphics. Nick will talk about those early programmable graphics processor developments, which originally came out of North Carolina State, and Mary will talk about the development of Virtual Reality technology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
