TPNAME:Matthew Thorne
TPTITLE:WordsEye:  An Automatic Text-to-Scene Conversion System
TPABSTRACT:The WordsEye paper was published at SIGGRAPH 2001 and<nl>describes a natural language based system for describing and modelling a 3D scene.  For this talk, I will present the WordsEye paper with some comments on its relevance to my research and, perhaps, computer graphics in general.
