Dear all, Please find below the first call for papers for Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG) 2019, an ACM SIGGRAPH Specialized Conferences, held in cooperation with Eurograhics. We are looking forward to your submissions and participation, Marie-Paule Cani & Tiberiu Popa, Program co-chairs --------------------------------------------- Call for papers The 12th annual ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG 2019, formerly Motion in Games) will take place in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, 28th - 30th Oct 2019. The goal of the Motion, Interaction, and Games conference is to be a platform for bringing together researchers from interactive systems and animation, and have them present their most recent results, initiate collaborations, and contribute to the advancement of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions for long and short papers, and talks by a selection of internationally renowned speakers from Academia as well as from the Industry. This year we have we are pleased to announce three great key-note speakers: Markus Gross, Taku Komura and Karan Singh.
