Kev�tGraph 2012 Friday, May 4 1:00pm - 5:00pm

Every six months we take a look at what's new & hot in the Finnish computer graphics & interaction scene. Kev�tGraph is a chance to hear about the latest research, and mingle with other people in the industry & academia.

The seminar will bring the latest updates of the ...3D graphics field, demos, animations and new interactive technologies. The presentations are held in English and targeted for a general audience; no advance knowledge of computer graphics is required.

The entry fee is 20 � (students 10�) and it includes the Helsinki ACM SIGGRAPH membership fee for 2012.

The event is held in Otaniemi at Aalto Venture Garage (Betonimiehenkuja 3, Espoo).

If possible, pay the entry fee in advance to the organizer's bank account in Nordea 111230-354222 (write the names of the participants in the message field). Otherwise, at the event the payment is possible only by cash. Schools and companies may ask for an invoice.
