ACM Launches New "Computers in Entertainment" Magazine
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the professional society for computing and the mother organization for SIGGRAPH is launching a new magazine called Computers in Entertainment. I don't know how many of you might be ACM student members, but I think it's $50 for members, so maybe the Division should get its own subscription . . .
Some of our own faculty at USC are on the Editorial Board, like Ulrich Neumann, the director of the IMSC; Tom Holman, the developer of THX; Elaine Chew; Cyrus Shahabi; Peter Vorderer; and Richard Edlund, who's an alum and occasionally teaches here, but he's also the chair of the Visual Effects Branch of the Academy, so, being the local VFX enthusiast, I had to mention him.
