Unity will be at SIGGRAPH 2019 showing the latest in real-time high-fidelity graphics, artist tools and workflows, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and media and entertainment.

Join us at SIGGRAPH 2019, the world’s largest conference for computer graphics, taking place in Los Angeles, California from July 28th to August 1st. This show brings together thousands of computer graphics professionals and is one of the most highly respected venues for the presentation of new computer graphics technology and research.

We are excited to share with you how creators are using Unity to power the art of storytelling with our high-fidelity graphics, flexible real-time 3D platform, and integrated artist tools and workflows.

Real-time high-fidelity graphics, demos, and more

Be sure to stop by our booth (#1241) on the expo floor to check out the latest in graphics, media and entertainment, artist tools and workflows, and immersive storytelling with AR and VR. Our recruiting team will also be there and would love to chat with you.
