Hal Berghel (Computer Science) conducted an interview with pioneer digital animator and artist Judson Rosebush that appeared in this month's issue of IEEE Computer. Berghel and Rosebush discuss current advances in the use of artificial intelligence in creating virtual realities. The interview is titled, "A Story Arc from TRON to Sora," as Rosebush was one of the designers who worked on Disney's 1982 pioneering animation film, TRON. This is the first of a two-part series.
