displayed during the conference and will form the focus of a posters session
to be run in conjunction with one of the social events. We encourage
submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering,
modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer
vision, and imaging.

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.

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.
