Computer Graphics Night 2021 – Award Winners

As every year, the Computer Graphics Night set out to identify the brightest minds in visual computing. This year, however, the event once again had to take place entirely online. The award ceremony still went ahead, of course, and the jury – consisting of scientists from Fraunhofer IGD and affiliated university chairs – selected this year’s award winners in the customary manner. We would like to once again warmly congratulate all winners and thank the many guests who helped make the 23rd edition a wonderful winter evening, even in digital form.
