Third Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulations
                           (VRIPHYS '06)
          Mostoles, Madrid, Spain, 6th-7th November
          http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys06/
 
This is the third edition of the workshop and this year it is hosted
by the Rey Juan Carlos University. The workshop is organized in
cooperation with Eurographics.
 
As in previous editions (vriphys04, vriphys05), the goal is to attract
high level research papers in the domains of dynamic simulation and
physical interaction in virtual reality environments. We also welcome
papers showing on-going research with promising results and new
technology with applications related. We particularly encourage works
in the medical domain due to its strong ties to the workshop topics.
Topics Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following
areas:
 
    * Collision detection techniques
    * Deformable objects (e.g. biomechanical modeling of soft and hard tissues)
    * Physical standards for assessing deformable objects
      (e.g. performance metrics & validation of medical simulators)
    * Natural phenomena modeling (hair, fluids, ...)
    * Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
    * Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
    * Physically based dynamics (video games, medical simulators)
 
The workshop seeks to be an international forum for researchers and
students to provide a propitious environment for sharing results and
exchanging new concepts on these fields.  Information submission
Camera ready submission:
 
Papers are allowed 6 to 10 pages and formatted according to the EG
publication guidelines for workshop submission. For double-blind
reviewing, the anonymous submission version should be used. Accepted
papers will be presented orally at the workshop and appear in the
proceedings.
 
The works must be formatted in pdf and should include the following data:
 
    * Abstract of not more than 150 words.
