[General] Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 08

We are pleased to announce the fifth Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 08. The workshop is hosted by the Grenoble Universities, France. It is organized in cooperation with Eurographics. VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an opportunity for researches in virtual reality and computer animation to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research. 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 =============================== Important Dates: July 4, paper submission Aug 22, notification Sep 5, camera-ready version Sep 12, early-bird registration Nov 13-14, conference =============================== More information on http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys08/
