SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

The 12th Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation (VRIPHYS) November 4-5, 2015, Lyon (France) Submission deadline ** July 9, 2015 **

==================================================================================

We are pleased to announce the 12th Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 2015. The workshop is hosted by LIRIS and the Université Lyon 1 and will take place on Nov. 4-5, 2015. It is organized in cooperation with EuroGraphics (EG) and will be preceded by a Sofa-users day.

VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an opportunity for researches in virtual reality and computer animation to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research.

Topics of interest

==================

Include, but are not limited to:

* animation, e.g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based and geometric approaches

* virtual and augmented reality

* planning, learning, optimization for animation

* interfaces for creating and editing animations

* perception in animation

* autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior

* natural phenomena

* mathematical foundations of animation

* haptics

* sound interfaces

* related techniques, e. g. collision detection and contact handling

* applications, e. g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment

Submission

==========

Paper submissions in PDF should be formatted according to the EG publication style, and the EG exclusive licence form has to be filled, following the instructions:

http://vriphys2015.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/1

Submissions must be anonymous, should be written in English and should not exceed 10 pages. We encourage the submission of supplementary videos to particularly illustrate dynamic aspects of a submission. All materials will be submitted electronically through the SRM portal before July 9, 2015.

Best papers award

=================

The "best papers Award" will be given to the author(s) of full papers presented at the conference, selected by the Organizing Committee. The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the journal Computers & Graphics, for publication in a Virtual Special Issue (VSI).

SOFA-users day

==============

Following the half-day held in Lille in 2013 (https://vriphys2013.inria.fr/sofa-users/), this year VRIPHYS will once again be preceded by a tutorial/workshop for SOFA-users. 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 algorithms, but can also be used as an efficient prototyping tool.

General Chair
