Moving Mobile Graphics is a recurring half-day course at SIGGRAPH providing a technical introduction to the state of the art in mobile graphics from practitioners at the forefront. It ran at SIGGRAPH 2015, 2016, 2018, 2020 and is back again for 2024. This page acts as the collected course notes and links to all Moving Mobile Graphics-related materials.

Moving Mobile Graphics - SIGGRAPH 2024
SIGGRAPH Session link, Thursday, 1 August 20242:00pm - 5:15pm MDT, Location: Bluebird 3A
Great to be back again, with Jesse Barker moderating. This year we look at how physically based shading, global illumination and - a first for this year - neural graphics techniques can be brought to mobile. Additionally we will discuss modernisation of graphics stacks and the benefits that can be derived from this.
Recordings of all talks are now available on ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3664475.3664528
(At the time of writing, the ACM DL has the incorrect course name, "Mobile GPU 101", but the full recording of all talks is available.)
Moving Mobile Graphics - SIGGRAPH 2020
Due to the ongoing pandemic this time we are going to be online! If you've ever struggled getting to SIGGRAPH this is certainly the year to give it a whirl. Our course will be one of the first to be broadcast along with live Q&A from 9am PST Monday 24th August. Check out the full SIGGRAPH program here: https://s2020.siggraph.org/full-program/
Update: the full course is now available to watch via YouTube or via the ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3388769.3407515. Slides and links to talk start times are below.
During the broadcast there will be text chat Q&A followed by a live Q&A session with all the speakers at 12 noon PST.
This year we welcome Jesse Barker (Unity) as our moderator.
Moving Mobile Graphics - SIGGRAPH 2018
This time we were in Vancouver and talks followed a broad theme of XR and rendering efficiency.
Recordings of all talks are now available to view on the ACM Digital library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3214834.3214857
Moving Mobile Graphics - SIGGRAPH 2016
Moving Mobile Graphics is a half-day course providing a technical introduction to the state of the art in mobile graphics from practitioners at the forefront. This year we look at mobile VR, best practices in real-time rendering, GPU compute for image processing, and recent advances in graphics APIs and rendering techniques.
Recordings of all talks are now available on the ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2897826.2927312
Further details can be found on the event page. Here's this year's line up:
Moving Mobile Graphics - SIGGRAPH 2015
The course progresses from introductory material on mobile GPU design, software best practices and emerging technologies, to topic talks from development studios pushing the boundaries of mobile graphics.
The slides and course notes for each talk are linked from the table below. I recommend the notes versions, but note that Andrew Garrard talk has animations that are best seen in the slide ppt format.
Recordings of all talks are now available on the ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2776880.2787664
In addition, there are extended course notes on mobile software development, an extension of Andrew's talk. Further details can be found on the original event page.
