The '''Dynamic Graphics Project''' (commonly referred to as '''dgp''') is an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the [[University of Toronto]] devoted to projects involving [[Computer Graphics]], [[Computer Vision]], [[Human Computer Interaction]], and [[Interactive visualization|Visualization]]. The lab began as the computer graphics research group of [[Computer Science]] Professor {{ill|Leslie Mezei|fr}} in 1967.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hciweb.cs.toronto.edu/DGPis40/speakers_session5.html|title = Dgpis40}}</ref> Mezei invited [[Bill Buxton]], a pioneer of [[human-computer interaction|human–computer interaction]] to join. In 1972, [[Ronald Baecker]], another [[human-computer interaction|HCI]] pioneer joined dgp, establishing dgp as the first Canadian university group focused on computer graphics and human-computer interaction.<ref>http://graphicsinterface.org/wp-content/uploads/gi2005-frontmatter.pdf Ron Baecker CHCCS 2005 Achievement Award</ref> According to csrankings.org, for the combined subfields of [[computer graphics]], [[Human–computer interaction|HCI]], and [[Interactive visualization|visualization]] the dgp is the number one research institution in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://csrankings.org/#/index?graph&chi&visualization&world|title = CSRankings|year = 2020|last1 = Berger|first1 = Emery D.}}</ref>
Since then, dgp has hosted many well known faculty and students in computer graphics, computer vision and HCI (e.g., [[Alain Fournier (academic)|Alain Fournier]], [[William Reeves (animator)|Bill Reeves]], [[Jos Stam]], [[Demetri Terzopoulos]], [[Marilyn Tremaine]]). dgp also occasionally hosts [[artist in residence|artists in residence]] (e.g., [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-winner [[Chris Landreth]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.utoronto.ca/news/oscar-winning-animator-and-filmmaker-chris-landreth-u-t-computer-science|title = Oscar-winning animator and filmmaker Chris Landreth at U of T computer science}}</ref>). Many past and current researchers at [[Autodesk]] (and before that [[Alias Systems Corporation|Alias Wavefront]]) graduated after working at dgp.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hciweb.cs.toronto.edu/DGPis40/alumni.php?page=home|title=Dgpis40}}</ref> dgp is located in the St. George Campus of University of Toronto in the [[Bahen Centre for Information Technology]]. dgp researchers regularly publish at [[ACM SIGGRAPH]], [[ACM SIGCHI]] and [[ICCV]].
dgp hosts the Toronto User Experience (TUX) Speaker Series and the Sanders Series Lectures.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tux-hci.org/ |title=Home |website=tux-hci.org}}</ref>
