We are pleased to announce the 9th Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction
and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 2012. The workshop is hosted by the Graduate
School of Computational Engineering and the Interactive Graphics Systems
Group at the Technical University of Darmstadt and Fraunhofer IGD. It is
organized in cooperation with Eurographics.
VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the
field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an
opportunity for researches in virtual reality and computer animation to
present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential
directions of future research. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- animation, e. g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based and
geometric approaches
- virtual and augmented reality
- planning, learning, optimization for animation
- interfaces for creating and editing animations
- perception in animation
- autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior
- natural phenomena
- mathematical foundations of animation
- haptics
- sound interfaces
- related techniques, e. g. collision detection and contact handling
- applications, e. g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment
A "Best Paper Award" will be given to the author(s) of a full paper
presented at the conference, selected by the Organizing Committee. The "Best
Paper Award" is a TeslaT C2075 computing processor (or similar) sponsored by
NVIDIA.
Important dates
- Submission: August 3
- Notification: September 21
- Final version: October 5
- Conference: December 6-7

Web3D:
------
The 17th ACM International Web3D Conference will address a wide range of
research topics related to Web-based 3D Graphics. These topics include:
representation and modeling methods, content analysis, rendering,
distributed virtual environments, large-scale databases, Web-wide
human-computer interaction, as well as innovative tools and applications.
On the one hand, authoring and delivering educational contents is one of the
main interests of this edition of the conference. The creation of
educational materials, such as interactive electronic technical manuals will
be supported, as well as the approach to incorporate advanced real-time
rendering features into the X3D standard, in a generic way that is
independent from the specific rendering method. On the other hand, the
conference will particularly focus on novel mobile AR applications,
innovative 3D graphics Web applications and novel Medical and eHealth
developments, aside from contents over 3D Internet.
The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event that gathers researchers,
developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists, and content creators in a
dynamic environment. Attendees can share and explore methods of using,
enhancing, and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as
WebGL and HTML5, Flash 11/ Stage 3D, X3D, COLLADA, and the MPEG family. The
conference highlights capabilities and trends in interactive 3D graphics
across a wide range of applications and supports research from mobile
devices up to high-end immersive environments.
Topics:
* Modeling, processing, analysis and rendering of complex geometry,
structure, and behaviors
* 3D search, shape matching and indexing
* Rendering algorithms and standardization and visualization of large data
sets
* Interaction methods for online 3D content
* Interactive 3D graphics for mobile devices
* Mixed and Augmented Reality (including standardization aspects)
* Agents, animated humanoids, and complex reactive characters
* Remote rendering and streaming
* Stereo and multi-view visualization of 3D graphic interfaces
* High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments,
tele-presence, and 3D broadcasting
* Web, multimedia and standards integration and interoperation.
Accepted papers and posters will appear in the Web3D 2012 Conference
Proceedings, published by ACM Press.
