The recommended topics for the SIGGRAPH 2005 projects are listed below. See the course's afs directory for more information.
I expect you to look up and at least skim the papers before Thursday. We'll narrow down the topic list during lecture time on that day.
Projects on other SIGGRAPH 2005 papers are possible, but you must consult with me about this before Thursday's lecture.
