This new venue at SIGGRAPH 97 connects to other parts of the conference and increases opportunities for hands-on learning. The goal is to enhance learning by providing the latest computer graphics hardware and software, and highly interactive access to the techniques and ideas presented at the conference.

Reservations for lab access are available to Conference Select and Full Conference registrants.

Some examples of how attendees can use the CAL:

A course might have "homework." Attendees can continue their learning experience while the course material is still fresh in their minds.

Technical program contributors might have "office hours" in the lab for one-on-one discussions about their research.

A paper or panel might have demo software available in the lab so attendees can explore the technology that created examples from the presentation.

Hands-on workshops might be presented as part of the Educators Program.

Artists might use the software in the lab to create an image.

Attendees might meet other attendees (or contributors) and arrange remote collaborations between their own labs/

The CAL is also a gathering space for technical session break-outs and mingling. Lots of "white board" space is available so attendees can explore concepts informally.

On Friday afternoon, a special sketch session showcases the work accomplished in the CAL. For more details, consult the lab monitors in the CAL.
