I've been reverse engineering Apple's, ARM's, and ImgTec's hardware image compression formats. ARM's AFRC is the clear winner, but does native hardware compression make real-time texture encoding obsolete? ludicon.com/castano/blog/202…

G. K. Chesterton explains that reading gives a man more lives than he was born with: “A man who has read a thousand books is armed for life; a man who has read none is easy prey. The man who has read a thousand books has lived a thousand lives. He has seen cities he has never visited, spoken to men who died centuries ago, and walked in worlds that no longer exist. Reading does not merely inform him; it enlarges him. It stretches the boundaries of his own experience until he becomes something more than himself.”

To encourage more submissions we are extending the deadline for posters by one week, to 27 March 2026. Poster and demo notification is now extended to 3 April 2026. More information about poster submissions at: i3dsymposium.org/2026/cfp-po… #I3D2026

Atari’s Star Wars (1983) is the definitive vector-graphics masterpiece. Sit in the cockpit of an X-Wing and take on the Death Star in a wireframe galaxy far, far away. With digitized voices from the film, it’s a high-speed, immersive arcade triumph.
