//=========================================================== WORKSHOP IN VIRTUAL REALITY INTERACTION and PHYSICAL SIMULATION (VRIPHYS '04) Papers due: May 17, 2004 Notification of acceptance: June 18, 2004 Deadline for camera-ready version: June 28, 2004 http://vcg.isti.cnr.it/~vriphys04/ //=========================================================== The workshop is organized in the framework of the annual meeting "Encuentro internacional de Ciencias de la Computación" ENC'2004 of the Mexican Society for Computer Science. In recent years, much research has been done in virtual reality technology to advance other fields such as medicine, engineering, training, education and entertainment. Realistic virtual environments require real-time visual rendering of data and fast computations of physical complex phenomena that combine movements, deformations, interactions. This problem is constrained further if some applications require high interactivity tasks, such as videogames or surgery simulators. It is a forum for students, researchers and computer science professionals. //=========================================================== OBJECTIVES //=========================================================== * To present high level research in the domains of dynamic simulation and physical interaction in virtual reality environments. * To identify and put together the scientific mexican community doing research in the domains of computer graphics and virtual reality. * Considering virtual reality as a multidisciplinary domain, we seek to introduce other researchers, from different backgrounds, the potential advantages of using virtual environments that might open new advantages in their research fields. * To attract application developers and show them the envelope of what can be done in virtual reality and computer graphics. We seek to encourage developers to work together with researchers and provide products that are truely usable, rather than just a demo. //=========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS //=========================================================== We invite communications that describe innovative research in the domains of dynamic simulations and physical interactions in virtual reality. We also welcome papers showing on-going research with promising results and new technology with applications related. Topics : Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Physically based dynamics - Collision detection techniques - Cloth & deformable bodies - Natural phenomena modeling (plants, clouds, ...) - Geometric algorithms for physical simulation - Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces - Mathematical foundations of animation - Applications (surgery simulations...) - Physics for video games //=========================================================== SELECTION CRITERIA //=========================================================== Papers will be blinded peer-reviewed by the international committee of this workshop. The authors of the best paper will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper for reviewing and possible publication in the Journal "Computacion y Sistemas" (http://cic.ipn.mx/revistas/). //=========================================================== INFORMATION SUBMISSION //=========================================================== Camera ready submission: Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages. They can be written in English or Spanish. Papers in Spanish must include an abstract in English.
