These topics include: representation and modeling methods, content analysis, rendering, distributed virtual environments, large-scale databases, Web-wide human-computer interaction, as well as innovative tools and applications. On the one hand, collaborative authoring and delivering of educational, multimedia, industrial, medical, gaming and GIS contents is one of the main interests of this edition of the conference. On the other hand, innovative 3D graphics Web applications and novel developments for several sectors including but not limited to eHealth, Transport, Industry, Education, Audiovisual or Tourism, aside from contents over 3D Internet. The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event that gathers researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists, and content creators in a dynamic environment. Attendees can share and explore methods of using, enhancing, and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as WebGL and HTML5 (which is a hot topic in Computer Graphics), Flash/ Stage 3D, X3D, COLLADA, and the MPEG family. Relationship of Web3D with OGC is also a hot topic The conference highlights capabilities and trends in interactive 3D graphics across a wide range of applications and supports research from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments. Topics Topics may include, but are not limited to: § Modeling, processing, analysis and rendering of complex geometry, structure, and behaviors § 3D search, shape matching and indexing § 3D City Models & Web3D, Geovisualization § Rendering algorithms and standardization and visualization of large data sets § Interaction methods for online 3D content § Interactive 3D graphics for mobile devices § Mixed and Augmented Reality (including standardization aspects) § Agents, animated humanoids, and complex reactive characters § Remote rendering and streaming § Stereo and multi-view visualization of 3D graphic interfaces § High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments, tele-presence, tele-operation, and 3D broadcasting § Web, multimedia and standards integration and interoperation Authors are also invited to submit advances in the above technologies applied to multimedia applications in: § Audiovisual, Multimedia, 3D Animation § Engineering (Automotive, Design...) § Transport, Security § 3D Medical Applications, Life Sciences and Healthcare § Geospatial modeling and digital cities § Public sector and tourism § Cultural heritage and E-learning Organizing Committee General Chair: Dr. Jorge Posada, Vicomtech-IK4, Spain Program Chairs: Dr. Denis Gracanin, Virginia Tech, USA Dr. Byounghyun Yoo, Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology, Singapore Dr. David Oyarzun, Vicomtech-IK4, Spain Tutorials Chair: Dr. Sandy Ressler, National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA Workshops Chair: Dr. Marius Preda, Institut Mines Telecom, France (*special session on City Models and Web3D conducted by Dr. Sisi Zlatanova, TU Delft, Netherlands) Industrial Liaisons Chair: Christophe Mouton, EDF, France Web Chair: Dr. Marcio Cabral, CAVERNA Digital - University of Sao Paulo, Brazil Leonard Daly, Daly Realism, USA Publicity and Community-Liaison Chair Anita Havele, Web3D Consortium, USA
