Third Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulations (VRIPHYS '06)

This is the third edition of the workshop and this year it is hosted by the Rey Juan Carlos University. The workshop is organized in cooperation with Eurographics.

As in previous editions (vriphys04, vriphys05), 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. We particularly encourage works in the medical domain due to its strong ties to the workshop topics.

Topics

• Collision detection techniques
• 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, ...)
• 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.
