Asia is increasingly putting its stamp on the computer graphics industry with innovations such as paper that changes colour at a touch.
That's the view of Jeff Jortner, head of Siggraph, which is hosting the Siggraph Asia computer graphics conference in the city this week.
The abundance of interactive creations on show comes as Asia moves away from its manufacturing roots towards a future as an intellectual hub for the graphics industry.
"The technology is keeping up, the universities, the education. It's no longer just manufacturing; you're getting intellectual capabilities from [Asia] now," Jortner said.
The event gives graduates the chance to showcase their visions of an interactive future, and developers the opportunity to display their work and look for talent.
"Touch the butterfly," Kohei Tsuji, from Keio University in Japan, said. At the touch of a finger, the grey ink and paper painting of a butterfly turns iridescent. "It's like your touch is breathing life into it," Tsuji said.
He said he hoped the technology could one day be used to illustrate picture books. But, for the moment, the ink for just one page costs up to 30,000 yen (HK$3,000).
Nearby, inside a dark room, a motion sensor detects the movements of a dancer's top hat and wand, creating star trails on the wall and triggering music. "It was inspired by Disney's Fantasia," French student Camille Barot said. "I'm hoping it can be used as a relaxation device in spas, as art therapy for autistic children or perhaps even a more fun treatment option for people undergoing physical therapy."
Representatives from industry heavyweights Pixar, Dreamworks and Disney were also on hand to speak about the creative and technical processes that went into producing movies such as Kung Fu Panda 2 and the 3-D version of The Lion King.
"I was amazed by the amount of interest in the 3-D work Disney is doing," Robert Neuman, stereoscopic supervisor for Walt Disney Animation Studios, said.
With the growth of the gaming industry in Asia, interest at the Siggraph conference has risen. It attracted 3,200 participants in 2008, its first year and this year's event is expected to draw 7,000 people.
The 2009 conference in Japan was centred around emerging technologies, while the one in South Korea a year later focused on the gaming industry. Hong Kong is highlighting the creative use of existing technologies, including mobile phone applications, in which organisers say Asia has been leading the charge.
Siggraph Asia 2011***ns until December 15 at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. It is open to students and those involved in the computer science industry.
