IEEE 3DUI 2015 CALL FOR POSTERS

by eurographics＠eg.org

Sorry for duplicates. Dear Colleagues, We invite you to participate in the IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces 2015 ( <http://www.3dui.org> http://www.3dui.org) by submitting a poster. Posters provide an informal but interactive forum in which authors can present their work to symposium attendees during the poster session and during conference breaks. They describe works-in-progress, novel ideas, novel systems, or present the latest implemented applications. Posters are a great way to let others in the 3DUI community know about your work as well as an opportunity to discuss and make potential collaborations! Poster submissions should be within the scope of three-dimensional user interfaces. We would also like to introduce a subtle shift in focus for 3D UI research. Given that this is the 10th annual 3DUI Symposium, and that significant progress has been mode over the years to address the "classic five" low-level interaction tasks of Selection, Manipulation, Navigation, Symbolic Input, and System Control, we strongly encourage posters that attempt to address higher-level tasks that draw on three or more of the lower-level tasks. Topics of the symposium include (but not limited to): * 3D input devices * 3D display and sensory feedback * 3D interaction techniques * 3D user interface metaphors * Mobile 3DUIs * Non-fatiguing 3DUIs * Desktop 3DUIs * 3DUIs for VR and AR * Evaluation methods for 3DUIs * Human perception of 3D interaction * Collaborative 3D interaction * Applications of 3DUIs: Games, entertainment, CAD, education, etc. Authors should submit an extended abstract as a two-page manuscript in the IEEE 3DUI Proceedings format. It is recommended that authors submit a draft of your actual poster in pdf format. Poster sizes should be no more than 36" x 48" (any orientation). Please submit your extended abstract in camera-ready format. Important Dates: * Posters Abstract Submission Due - December 28, 2014 (midnight PST) * Author Notification - January 6, 2015 (midnight PST) * Final Camera-Ready Abstracts - January 10, 2015 (midnight PST) Authors of accepted poster submissions are expected to prepare a final version of their two page extended abstract and present their poster at the conference in a special poster session and at designated poster breaks. Authors will also give a 1-minute presentation of their poster during the poster fast forward session. Specific details will be sent to authors later. Poster submissions should be in the form of a two page manuscript prepared in IEEE VGTC format and will appear in the printed proceedings. Please submit all materials via http://precisionconference.com/~vr <http://precisionconference.com/%7Evr> Please see <http://3dui.org/> http://3dui.org/ for more details on the submission guidelines. Thank You!

Call for papers : Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing (WICED 2015)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing (WICED 2015), Zurich, May 4, 2015. Co-located with the 36th annual conference of the European Association of Computer Graphics. Deadline for submission : February 28, 2015. The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of games and virtual worlds. Cinematics produced in virtual worlds play a role not just for entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care communication, simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The automatic creation of cinematics in these environments holds the potential to produce video sequences appropriate for a wide range of applications and tailored to specific spatial, temporal, communicative, user and application contexts. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. This fourth workshop on intelligent cinematography and editing is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to teaching, training or therapeutic goals. The workshop is open to researchers and industrial experts working on the many related aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualisation, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic artworks in virtual worlds and the real world. Topics of interest o Camera path planning o Visibility computation o Viewpoint entropy o Navigation techniques and proximal exploration o Interactive camera control metaphors o Approaches to framing and composition of individual shots o Automatic lighting design o Intelligent staging and blocking of virtual lights, cameras and actors o Expressive performance of virtual characters o Intelligent video editing tools o Efficient algorithms for camera placement and shot sequence selection o Natural user interfaces for camera control and video editing o Parallels between cinematic and linguistic communication o Cognitive models of the comprehension of virtual cinematics o Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing of live-action video o Computer-assisted multi-camera production o Virtual cinematography as a pre-visualisation tool for real-world filming o Intelligent tools and novel interfaces for in-game cinematics, replays, and machinima o Intelligent generation of comic book layouts o Evaluation methodologies and user experience o Interactive and generative cinema o Cinematic serious game and applications o Collaborative visual storytelling o Non-linear storytelling o Transmedia storytelling o Creativity in cinematic communication Submission Researchers should submit one of: . 8 page paper reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. . 1 page abstract describing emergent work or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee; review criteria will intentionally be inclusive rather than competitive, to encourage work in progress and a broader participation in a nascent community of researchers. Reviews will include feedback for authors regardless of decision for acceptance or rejection. All the selected papers (excluding 1 page abstracts) will be published in the workshop's working notes. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing provided in the EG Digital Library. Please refer to the workshop web site : <http://wiced2015.inria.fr/> http://wiced2015.inria.fr for submission information and updates.
