Dear All,

We are pleased to inform you that we organize a SOFA (half-)day in Lyon, before the VRIPHYS EuroGraphics Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation. The event will take place on November 3 afternoon.  http://vriphys2015.sciencesconf.org/page/sofa_page

SOFA is an open-source framework primarily targeted at real-time simulation, with an emphasis on medical simulation. It is mostly intended for the research community to help develop newer models and algorithms. http://www.sofa-framework.org/

This idea of this meeting is to propose some tutorials for SOFA and to present recent work based on SOFA. This will also be the opportunity to increase exchange and communication within the SOFA community.

The inscription for this event is free. However, registration is mandatory, just sent an email to vriphys2015@liris.cnrs.fr
