This article summaries the cutting-edge researches in computer graphics from three perspectives, the history of computer graphics development, present status of international research, and some of the ensuing challenges. The present status analysis utilizes the paper information (e.g., affiliations of first authors and the numbers of research papers) published in ACM SIGGRAPH for the past three years. Based on these paper statistics, we also outline the leading research institutions and commercial corporations, as well as their characteristics in various directions of computer graphics. Furthermore, some representative research achievements selected from Chinese representative research institutions are depicted in detail.
