Abstract
The 2020 CHCCS Achievement Award from the Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society is presented to Prof. Dinesh Pai (UBC) for his numerous high-impact contributions to the field of computer graphics research. His diverse research addresses physics-based animation, multisensory displays including haptics and sound, and realistic digital human models. CHCCS invites a publication by the award winner to be included in the proceedings, and this year we continue the tradition of an interview format rather than a formal paper. This permits a casual discussion of the research areas, insights, and contributions of the award winner. What follows is an edited transcript of a conversation between Dinesh Pai and Doug James (Stanford CS Prof and former PhD student) that took place on 14 March, 2020, via Zoom.
