  abstract =     "What discipline in science, the arts or technology is
                 truly isolated? The more one delves into their
                 mysteries it becomes clear how inter-disciplinary they
                 are. The mind jumps from one impression to the next in
                 determining how existence is constructed. Though the
                 perception may be subjective, it is an experience that
                 is shared by many.\par

                 Science, the arts and technology are three separate
                 disciplines, but have more in common than meets the
                 eye. They are different lenses from which to observe
                 reality.\par

                 We may see things differently, but if we share our
                 insights, we build bridges and broaden our
                 understanding.\par

                 This is the theme for the May 2009 issue of the
                 SIGGRAPH e-quarter 'Computer Graphics', emphasizing the
                 importance of collaboration to improve the way computer
                 graphics is used in different ways.\par

                 Elizabeth A. Rega, Department of Anatomy, Western
                 University of Heath Sciences and Stuart S. Sumida,
                 Department of Biology, California State University of
                 Heath Sciences, have written an article together
                 entitled 'Anatomical Considerations in Facial Motion
                 Capture', stressing the importance of understanding
                 inherent traits of human facial expression to improve
                 motion capture performance.\par

                 'iVisit Agitating for the Evolution of Fixed-mobile
                 Tele-presence and Augmented Reality' by Orang Dialameh,
                 CEO of iVisit, LLC introduces how current mobile
                 video-calling software, spearheaded by CU-SeeMe creator
                 Tim Dorcey, is taking advantage of the HTC (High Tech
                 Computers) smart phone and pocket PC devices to assist
                 doctors in meeting and treating patients remotely and
                 helping persons who are visually impaired.\par

                 In the article 'A Survey of BRDF Models for Computer
                 Graphics' Murat Kurt, Ege University, International
                 Computer Institute, Turkey and Dave Edwards, University
                 of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, survey the most popular
                 BRDF representations introduced so far and analyzed the
                 most recent trends in this area. This article follows
                 up an earlier article entitle 'Representing BRDFs using
                 SOMs and MANs', also written by Murat Kurt together
                 with Muhammed G{\'o}khan Cinsdikici, Ege University,
                 International Computer Institute,
                 Turkey.\par

                 Contributor Carlos D. Correa has written an informative
                 article entitled 'Visualizing What Lies Inside' for
                 VisFiles, a very interesting read. My thanks to
                 Kwan-Liu Ma for his continued solicitation of
                 meaningful content for this section of the
                 newsletter.\par

                 In conclusion, Jack Lew, Director of Collaborations at
                 the Center for Emerging Media, University of Central
                 Florida, comes full circle through his submission to
                 Education entitled 'Connecting the Dots by Crossing
                 Borders', sharing how he, in his new position, sees
                 scientists, artists and technologists collaborating and
                 exploring new solutions in this field we broadly
                 identify as computer graphics. Jack also contributed
                 with the organizational chart used in the design of
                 this issue's cover illustration.",
