SIGGGRAPH 2010

Trip Report of Cool Things Aleksey Saw in the Exhibition Hall

(Coolest stuff at the top.)

- FusionIO had the coolest demo!! 1500 DVD-quality videos streaming
from a single Fusion IO (RAM-based) 640 GB drive displayed onto a large
virtual screen (composed of 16 - that's 4x4 large displayes). all 1500
videos were displayed simultaneiously in tiny little rectangles.

- Digital Double Agency - a French company (www.adnda.com) used to capture
your face (three sessions of 4 hours each) and a wide variety of facial expression; and capture your voice; and then the double can talk and interact -- so you can capture a celebrity's likeness and have the digital double act in movies; or so you can have an avatar online.
