Call for Posters for Motion in Games 2013

by eurographics＠eg.org

We would like to let you know that we have extended the deadline for poster submissions to Friday, September 13, 2013. The reviewer's feedback will be sent on September 20, 2013. Best regards, Jan Ondrej MIG 2013 Poster Chair =================================================================== CALL FOR POSTERS The 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2013 (MIG) November 7-9, 2013, Dublin, Ireland Submission Deadline: September 13, 2013 Notification: September 20, 2012 http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/ ==================================================================== The Sixth International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG) will be hosted in the historic city of Dublin, Ireland from November 7-9, 2013. MIG 2013 will be held in cooperation with Eurographics and, for the first time this year, it will be sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. 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. We invite submissions of poster abstracts to the MIG poster session. Two types of work can be submitted for poster presentation: 1. Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it was published should be identified in the abstract. 2. Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a short or long paper. Poster abstract submissions should be no more than one page in length and should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. Poster abstract should be submitted using the MIG online submission system. Accepted posters are not formal publications and will not appear in the official MIG proceedings but will appear in an online database for distribution at author's discretion. The relevant topics include (but are not limited to): Animation Systems Animation Algorithms and Techniques Character Animation Behavioral Animation Facial Animation Particle Systems Simulation of Natural Environments Natural Motion Simulation Virtual Humans Physics-based Motion Crowd Simulation Path Planning Navigation and Way-finding Flocking and Steering Behavior Camera Motion Object Manipulation Motion Capture Techniques Motion Analysis and Synthesis Gesture Recognition MIG online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013 ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip

<https://vriphys2013.inria.fr/> cid:E498322A-DC46-4182-8158-9AF340E8DF60@rooms.iriga VRIPHYS'13 - Work in Progress Session In the scope of the <http://vriphys2013.inria.fr/> VRIPHYS 2013 conference, an oral session with short presentation (typically 15~20 min including questions) is organized. These presentations should focus on aspects related to Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation. Work in progress, unpublished or recent results are particularly well suited for this session. The presented work will not be included in the proceedings, so that participants get feedback on their work without preventing from submitting their work later. This workshop is therefore mainly dedicated to Ph.D. candidates. To present your work during these sessions, please <mailto:jeremie.dequidt@inria.fr?subject=Workshop-Vriphys2013> send us an abstract (2 pages) by the 30th of September.
