Vacancy: Researcher in Interactive Virtual and Augmented Reality

by eurographics＠eg.org

Applications are invited for a Research Associate in Interactive Virtual and Augmented Reality to work in a major new research centre at the University of Bath. We are seeking a talented and motivated researcher with excellent track record in human-computer interaction and/or 3D computer graphics. The post holder will work closely with computer vision and motion capture experts to research, develop and evaluate innovative 3D environments and interaction techniques for virtual and augmented reality. The Centre for the Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications (CAMERA) is an exciting EPSRC funded large-scale research collaboration between the Department of Computer Science, the Department for Health and external partners at the University of Bath. CAMERA has over £10m of initial research commitment, including around £4m from the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC), and an expectation for growth and long-term sustainability beyond the current 5-year funding. CAMERA aims to create impact in the areas of entertainment, human performance enhancement and assistive technologies. A central theme is the development and application of human motion capture, VR and AR in these areas. CAMERA has several world-class partners including BMT, The Imaginarium, The Foundry, Ministry of Defence, and British Skeleton. CAMERA has a world-class motion capture studio, including a range of full body and facial capture systems, inertial sensing, multi-camera 4K arrays, and VR and AR technologies. CAMERA has several research strands. In the VR and AR strand, we aim to research and develop innovative techniques and experiences in which people can interact with other people and things in virtual and augmented environments. Using advances in motion capture, 3D modelling and rendering, and human-computer interaction, we aim to make these experiences more controllable, realistic and natural. The principal aim of this post is to conduct research to enable these developments and to produce world leading publications and other appropriate outputs. In addition to these duties, the post holder will be involved in the supervision of PhD students and some teaching. Commercial activities through CAMERA are also possible. The post holder is expected to work closely with other CAMERA staff, especially with researchers working on related areas of VR and AR. The Department and the University are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment. We are working to improve the gender balance within the Department and particularly welcome applications from women. This position is offered on a full-time, fixed-term contract (up to 24 months) basis. The start date is anticipated to be as soon as possible from 1 June 2016.

Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2016 - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear colleagues, We invite submissions to the following conference: ====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2016 (CGVC 2016) The 34th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 15-16 September 2016, Bournemouth University, UK, <http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2016/> http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2016/ ====================================================== The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2016 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters during a poster session. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. ====================================================== Topics include but are not limited to: Computer animation and image-based animation Computer-based arts and entertainment Vision-based techniques and image processing Acquisition and reconstruction techniques Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware Medical imaging Multimedia visualisation Computer Games Rendering techniques Scientific visualization and big data Information visualization Visual analytics Augmented reality and collaborative environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics Modelling methods ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission Deadline: ***** 17 June 2016 ***** Notification of Acceptance: 15 July 2016 Camera Ready: 5 August 2016 Conference: 15-16 September 2016 ====================================================== Conference co-chairs: Dr Cagatay Turkay, City University London, UK, Dr Tao Ruan Wan, Bradford University, UK. .
