KEYNOTE SPEAKER FOR
PLENARY SESSION (LUNCHEON), MONDAY,
FEBRUARY 15 12:00 - 1:15, HYATT
BALLROOM A/B
Dr. Judson Rosebush: "Beyond
Computer Animation"
Dr. Rosebush is world-renowned for
his pioneering work in
computer animation. His earliest
animations date back to
1970, and
his company, Digital Effects, Inc.,
introduced
computer
animation to the commercial marketplace in the mid
1970's. His book, Computer
Graphics for Designers and
Artists, is considered to be a standard in
the field. Dr.
Rosebush's
address is sponsored in part by the ACM Lectur-
ship Series and the ACM Local
Activities Board.
