Just going to speak from my experience here; this makes it very hard to get into computer graphics research. Any academic won't want you working on stuff that's "funded by industry" rather than funded by NSF and DOE. But you won't be able to get an industry research position unless you did graphics research during schooling. You can sometimes make a case with HPC and CUDA work, but I've found it to be a tricky dilemma.
- thu2111 6y agoSurely the issue there is academia? Some universities do publish papers in collaboration with industrial researchers, why do academics block that in graphics?
- aspaceman 6y agoIndustry blocks it. They want to keep all advances as IP and trade secrets, so they’d rather all research was done in house. Academics would love to collaborate, but they can’t if all the research is under-NDA and not publishable.
