{"pk":21320,"title":"COGGRAPH: Building bridges between cognitive science and computer graphics","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In recent years, the field of computer graphics has achieved its longstanding dream of photorealism: modern graphics algorithms produce images that are indistinguishable from reality. Much like art at the advent of photography, then, computer graphics is now turning its gaze to the beholder: researchers are increasingly looking to cognitive science to engineer new modes of visual expression. Recent work has sought to apply insights from cognitive science to a variety of traditional graphics topics: from taking a perceptual approach to perspective, to studying the theory of mind behind animation, to applying theories of abstraction learning to build tools for geometry processing. At the same time, a wave of recent work in cognitive science has addressed fundamental questions about visual expression: for example, how humans understand and create sketches, shapes, and symbols. The field has also benefited greatly from tools and methods from computer graphics: differentiable rendering, physics simulation, and game engines have become indispensable in modeling human perception and intuitive physics. Recognizing this growing interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, we are proposing a workshop to begin building formal bridges between the cognitive science and computer graphics communities.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Computer Science; Art and Cognition; Creativity; Human-computer interaction; Perception; Computational Modeling"}],"section":"Workshops","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/10x2163k","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kartik","middle_name":"","last_name":"Chandra","name_suffix":"","institution":"MIT","department":""},{"first_name":"Anne","middle_name":"H K","last_name":"Harrington","name_suffix":"","institution":"Massachusetts Institute of Technology","department":""},{"first_name":"Katherine","middle_name":"M","last_name":"Collins","name_suffix":"","institution":"MIT","department":""},{"first_name":"Christopher","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kymn","name_suffix":"","institution":"UC Berkeley","department":""},{"first_name":"Kushin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mukherjee","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","department":""},{"first_name":"Sean","middle_name":"P","last_name":"Anderson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Stanford University","department":""},{"first_name":"Arnav","middle_name":"","last_name":"Verma","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Toronto","department":""},{"first_name":"Judith","middle_name":"E.","last_name":"Fan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Stanford University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2024-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21320/galley/10919/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21320/galley/15684/download/"},{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/21320/galley/21765/download/"}]}
