Local Printed Resources: Computer Graphics Specific

Unless otherwise noted, the following resources may be found in either the 2nd floor reading room or on the bookshelves in the HMD lab.

IMAGE Conference Proceedings
The IMAGE Society hosts periodic conferences on the topic of computer image generation for simulation systems. They also publish the Annual Image Generator Survey, another resource we have. These are currently located in Nick England's office, since most of them belong to him.
I/ITEC, I/ITSC, I/ITSEC Conference Proceedings
The Interservice/Industry Training Systems and Education Conference series contains many papers related to various areas of training simulation systems, including computer image generation. These are also currently located in Nick England's office.
ITEC Conference Proceedings
The International Training Equipment Conference is similar to I/ITSEC. Also found in Nick's office.
Roy Latham's Real Time Graphics
This is a periodical newsletter (ten issues yearly) containing various information and technical articles related to the commercial image generator industry. Nick England has personal copies of all of the RTG issues; be nice to him and he may allow you to see them.
