IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics Volume Graphics (VG07) follows five successful workshops in former years. It aims to bring together researchers from both the academic and industry who are working, or wish to work, on volume graphics. Volume Graphics is concerned with modeling, processing, and rendering of data which is typically acquired through tomography, 3D microscopy, computational simulations, statistical measurements or analytical methods. It is capable of representing solid and soft objects, interiors as well as surfaces, and synthesizing graphical images in a true 3D manner. The symposium will continue to explore the potential of volume-based techniques beyond the scope of volume visualization as it is currently practiced.

SBIM'07 Call For Participation

by Christine Alvarado

Call for Participation Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07) http://www.eg.org/sbm In cooperation with AAAI With support from Microsoft Research University of California Riverside, CA, USA Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007 Hands-on Tablet PC workshop: Saturday August 4 Registration is now open for the fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07). Please register through the workshop web site: http://www.eg.org/sbm. Program and travel information can also be found on this site. Aims and Scope ----------------- Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface designs and underlying algorithms to support them. This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques are also welcome. The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and AAAI and sponsored in part by Microsoft Research, hence results and insights will be shared by researchers from around the globe. The workshop dates of August 2-4 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH venue in San Diego. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an opportunity to try out state of the art pen-based computing demos. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. Sincerely, Workshop Chairs Thomas Stahovich, University of California, Riverside, CA (stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu) Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu) Program Chairs Michiel van de Panne, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC (van(a)cs.ubc.ca) Eric Saund, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Palo Alto, CA (saund(a)parc.com) EG SBIM Working Group Chair Joaquim Jorge, Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal (jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt)

3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007: Call for Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM and REGISTRATION online at: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** INVITED SPEAKER --------------- JERRY TESSENDORF Principal Graphics Scientist, Rhythm and Hues Studios, USA Talk Title: "PHENOMENAL FILM EFFECTS" ABSTRACT Visual effects in films today can be highly realistic computer graphic imagery of natural environments and physical phenomena. Produced with a very big palette of software tools, the algorithmic routes to these images are sometimes based on the underlying physical phenomenology, and sometimes not. In this talk we consider several effects-heavy scenes in recent films, looking in detail at the computer graphics software and algorithms used and what physical and unphysical notions motivated the choices made. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Jerry Tessendorf is Principal Graphics Scientist at Rhythm and Hues Studios, where he builds new graphics tools for visual effects. The list of films he has contributed fx software to includes Titanic, The 13th Warrior, Red Planet, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, SuperMan Returns, and Happy Feet.Prior to working in visual effects, he was a Corporate Senior Scientist at the research company Arete Associates. Dr. Tessendorf has a PhD in theoretical physics from Brown University, and his research includes techniques in dynamical simulation, ocean optics, and volume rendering. WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE ----------------------- Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. WORKSHOP FORMAT --------------- The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. ORGANISING COMMITTEE -------------------- Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************
