[General] Call for participation: Motion in Games in Lisbon, just before Eurographics!

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION MOTION IN GAMES in LISBON <https://mig2015.inria.fr/> https://mig2015.inria.fr/ We are calling for participation in our ACM Motion in Games annual symposium which will occur on *** May 7-8 in Lisbon, Portugal *** as a satellite event of Eurographics 2016. The symposium, initially scheduled in Paris in November and cancelled due to the attacks, is re-organized in the lively city of Lisbon, with the great support of Eurographics organisation members as well as ACM. The event will give the opportunity for MIG15 participants to presents their papers, and for MIG and EG participants to enjoy our annual conference program. Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player nowadays is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of-the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, and as well as presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in all areas related to games and simulation.
