Web 3D games
Web-based 3D games are having an increasing social and
economic impact and since this field is covering large areas of computer science
research it has gained growing interest from the scientific community, as
well.
The workshop aims at involving researchers, developers, and
stakeholders in order to provide a forum fostering interdisciplinary
collaboration and cooperation between academia and industry by pinpointing and
discussing state of the art and future technologies, theories, tools and
scenarios of use, that are related to Web 3D games. Both research and
applications papers are of interest to the workshop.
Topics of interest include but are not limited
to:
o Content and character modeling
o Character design
o Tools, platforms and systems for games and Virtual
reality
o Advanced user interaction (hw and sw)
o Graphics, rendering and visualization (level of detail,
textures, lighting, etc.)
o 3D sound
o Tools and methods for web-game design (e.g. supporting
architectures, quality of service, scalability, etc.)
o Tools and metrics for game design evaluation
o Artificial Intelligence techniques
o Interactive narratives
o Intelligent agents and gamebots
o Multi-user management
o Distributed gaming architectures
o Mobile and pervasive gaming
o Virtual Collaborative Worlds
o Games modding
o User studies
o Social and human aspects of games
o Game applications and typologies
Authors are invited to submit their work for review by the
international Program Committee.
The papers (3-page short paper, 6-page full paper) must be
innovative and contribute to the advancement of technologies for web-3D games.
The main criteria for the review process will be: originality, technical
quality, clarity of presentation, and in its relevance to the field.
