Invited Talk 2 by Turner Whitted

Abstract: Our discussion of aesthetics in graphics is most often centered on content and methods of content generation. Somewhere between these abstractions and a viewer’s eye lie a mass of transistors, wires, metal, and glass. These elements can strongly affect our reaction to graphical displays. This talk is a survey of how displays and display processors can either promote or hinder our appreciation of digital content.

Producers of content have historically adapted to available hardware, tuning material for the range from tiny black and white mobile displays to gigantic IMAX projectors. Producers of hardware, on the other hand, attempt to provide a generic platform but rarely try to bridge the gap between circuitry and aesthetics. The last part of this talk describes an attempt to do just that.
