[General] 30-31 August SBM04: EG Workshop on Sketch-Based User Interfaces and Modeling CFP

Call for Participation: Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling http://sbm04.inesc-id.pt Grenoble, France, August 30-31, 2004 Keynote Speaker: Takeo Igarashi, Tokyo University "Freeform User Interfaces for Graphical Computing" -- Preliminary Program available at http://sketch.inesc.pt/sbm04/index.html#program -- Registration Form is available at http://eg04.inrialpes.fr/Register/RegistrationHotel.html -- Registration Fees: EG Members: 100 Euros Non EG Members: 200 Euros Summary Modeling systems possessing great functionality now enable us to create very complicated models. However, computers have yet to become usable at the very early stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because present-day interfaces require designers to leap large conceptual gaps from their mental models of desired objects to the geometric models that formally express their shape. As computer systems become more sophisticated, alternative input modalities and interface technologies are emerging which may form the basis for a new generation of sketching applications supporting what we may call Calligraphic Interfaces. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel user interfaces sketching models. The workshop builds on work done in recent years on modeling, 2D user interfaces and 3D user interfaces. The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics'04 Conference (September 1-3, 2004 , Grenoble) . As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend /present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. We look forward to meet you in Grenoble John F Hughes Joaquim Jorge -J.Jorge [PGP Key Fingerprint: EA67 279D 23FF 543A 9CE1 F5D6 5AF0 D606] _________________________________________________________________________ Joaquim A.
