Thank you for your feedback!

If you weren’t able to attend SIGGRAPH this year or missed one of our presentations in the Unity Sessions room, you can now watch them on our YouTube channel!

SIGGRAPH is the world’s largest conference for computer graphics technology and research, bringing together thousands of computer graphics professionals. This year the show took place in Los Angeles, California from July 28 to August 1, and Unity was there showing the latest demos and technology for high-fidelity real-time graphics.

If you weren’t able to attend this year, we have uploaded the graphics sessions to our YouTube channel. These are just a few of the sessions. Keep watching our YouTube channel for more as they become available.
