I3D 2014 Guest Editor’s Introduction

The papers in this special section were presented at the ACM Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics and Games (I3D) in 2014 that was held from March 14-16 in San Francisco, California. I3D focuses on real-time rendering, animation, and interaction techniques. Games are not the only application for these kinds of interactive methods, but are certainly a significant user of them. Consequently, the quality, time, space, stability, and predictability constraints faced by game development are an important factor in much of the work presented at I3D.
