Dear
Colleague,
I would like to draw your attention to a new event in October
2005:
GALA -
Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents.
GALA is an annual festival meant, first of all but
not exclusively, for students, to showcase novel applications of and tools for
animated lifelike agents. There will be prizes for students’ submissions, but
the main benefit both for the participants and the broad community will be the
forum - also a permanent on-line GALA Gallery with the best entries - where
recent works in the ECA field can be seen. Also, we wish to stimulate students’
work.
The deadline for 2-4 minutes movie submissions is 30
June.
More information on submission tracks - students and
others - , the two submission categories - application and creation - , and on
location, organizers etc. is available at GALA web page: http://hmi.ewi.utwente.nl/gala/
Please, make your students and colleagues
aware of this event, by distributing the enclosed call electronically and/or in
printed form. Encourage your students to submit their work, done as a student
project for a course or as part of an ongoing research project.
Thank you
for your cooperation. Any question or suggestion is welcome.
With
regards,
Zsofia Ruttkay
Chair of
GALA
