CALL FOR PAPERS
The 2016 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games (MIG)
Oct. 10-12, 2016, San Francisco, USA
<https://mig2015.inria.fr/> https://mig2016.inria.fr/
============================================================
The 9th ACM International Conference on Motion in Games will take place in
San Francisco on October 10-12th, 2016 and will be co-located with the AIIDE
conference ( <http://www.aiide.org/> http://www.aiide.org)
Conference mission: Games have become a very important medium for education,
therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games.
Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical
constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene.
Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently
studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and
animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also
physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these
communities can considerably advance the state-of- the-art in the area. The
goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from
this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate
collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area.
The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations,
as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas
related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include
cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions
among the participants. MIG provides an intimate forum for researchers and
practitioners in to present their research results, inspire new ideas, and
promote cross-disciplinary collaborations.

Poster abstracts will be included in the ACM and EG Digital Libraries, thus
providing a better and longstanding referencing to such works.
