The workshop will take place in Delft (NL) on April 15-16, 2018. It is organized in cooperation with EG. VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an opportunity for researchers in virtual reality and computer animation to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research. Plenary keynotes, an industrial session and a PhD competition will complete the program, see below. For this edition, the workshop will be co-located once again with the 39th Eurographics Conference (April 16-20, 2018), and the best papers will be offered the opportunity to be published in the Computers & Graphics journal! Topics of interest ================== Include, but are not limited to: * animation, e.g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based and geometric approaches * virtual and augmented reality * planning, learning, optimization for animation * interfaces for creating and editing animations * perception in animation * autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior * natural phenomena * mathematical foundations of animation * haptics * sound interfaces * related techniques, e.g. collision detection and contact handling * applications, e.g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment Plenary and Industrial keynotes =============================== High level academic and industrial presentation will enlighten the workshop, don't miss this opportunity ! See https://vriphys2018.sciencesconf.org/page/keynotes_page for more information on this event. * Alessandro Tasora (Università di Parma) * François Faure (Anatoscope) * Erwin Coumans (Google Brain Team) * Xavier Merlhiot and Martin Courchesne (CEA) Computers&Graphics Journal VSI ============================== Best papers awards will be given to the author(s) of full papers presented at the conference, selected by the Committee. Traditionally, the three honored papers are invited to submit an extended version to the journal Computers & Graphics, for publication in a Virtual Special Issue (VSI). http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics Submission ================ Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of VRIPHYS. Paper submissions in PDF should be formatted according to the EG publication style, following the instructions: https://vriphys2018.sciencesconf.org/page/submission_page Submissions must be anonymous, should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages.
