Upcoming Event: NVISION 2008 & the demoscene

By Hubert Nguyen, Posted on Aug 21, 08 12:16 PM PDT

Next week, we are going to stop by NVISION to check on what's new with NVIDIA and may be we'll find out if the crazy X86 NVIDIA CPU rumors are true or completely fake (we've been hearing that since 2006...). Anyhow, if you think of going, you might want to check the Demoscene section called NVSCENE. The "demoscene" is a group of passionate individuals who program real time "demos" with sometimes astonishing technical constraints, like limited size of 64KB, 4KB or even full games (think Tetris) in 256 BYTES (yes, bytes). I have a particular bias for this event because I started in the industry as a "coder" in the demoscene. Most demoscene events happen in Europe, so this is a rare opportunity to see this talented bunch and their work in the U.S
