YES!  I am interested!  There's got to be more going on in graphics today
than virtual reality and standards definitions.  What's the latest in
advances in photorealism?  How about automation of the animation of human 
figures and facial expressions?  Parallel graphics processors on a chip,
relativistic ray tracing, rendering the surface characteristics of flesh,
and much else.
