IEEE/EG Symposium on Point-Based Graphics
The IEEE/Eurographics Symposium on Point-Based Graphics (PBG) is a forum
for presenting new results related to the use of point-based primitives in
modeling, rendering, data acquisition, simulation, geometry, and graphics
hardware.
IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics
Volume Graphics (VG07) follows five successful workshops in former years.
It aims to bring together researchers from both the academic and industry
who are working, or wish to work, on volume graphics. Volume Graphics is
concerned with modeling, processing, and rendering of data which is
typically acquired through tomography, 3D microscopy, computational
simulations, statistical measurements or analytical methods. It is capable
of representing solid and soft objects, interiors as well as surfaces, and
synthesizing graphical images in a true 3D manner. The symposium will
continue to explore the potential of volume-based techniques beyond the
scope of volume visualization as it is currently practiced.

Trinity College of Dublin, Ireland, 9th-10th November
http://www.vriphys.org <http://www.vriphys.org/>
This is the fourth edition of the workshop and this year
it is hosted
by Trinity College, Dublin. The workshop is organized in
cooperation with Eurographics.
As in previous editions, the goal is to attract high level
research
papers in the domains of dynamic simulation and physical
interaction
in virtual reality environments. We also welcome papers
showing on-going
research with promising results and new technology with
applications
related focus. We particularly encourage works in the
medical domain
due to its strong ties to the workshop topics. Topic
Submissions are
invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
* Deformable objects (e.g. biomechanical modeling of soft
and hard tissues)
* Physical standards for assessing deformable objects
(e.g. performance metrics & validation of medical
simulators)
* Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...)
* Collision detection techniques
* Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
* Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
* Physically based dynamics (video games, medical
simulators)
The workshop seeks to be an international forum for
researchers and
students to provide a propitious environment for sharing
results and
exchanging new concepts on these fields.

Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling
(SBIM'07)
http://www.eg.org/sbm
In cooperation with AAAI
With support from Microsoft Research
University of California
Riverside, CA, USA
Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007
Hands-on Tablet PC workshop: Saturday August 4
Registration is now open for the fourth Eurographics Workshop on
Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07). Please register
through the workshop web site: http://www.eg.org/sbm. Program
and travel information can also be found on this site.
Aims and Scope
-----------------
Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and
mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the
naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil
and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid
drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and
graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface
designs and underlying algorithms to support them.
This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to
enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for
recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and
sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety
of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and
note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the
nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other
interaction techniques are also welcome.
The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and AAAI
and sponsored in part by Microsoft Research, hence results and
insights will be shared by researchers from around the globe. The
workshop dates of August 2-4 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop
location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH
venue in San Diego.
The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track),
a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited
talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an
opportunity to try out state of the art pen-based computing demos. All
are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not
required for attendance.
