Eurographics Virtual Environments 2008 (EGVE'08) Symposium http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/EGVE/cfp.html Call for Participation We invite you to participate in the Eurographics Virtual Environments (EGVE) symposium in Eindhoven, Netherlands, May 29-30th, 2008 which is co-located with EuroVis. EGVE is an international symposium for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with using and improving virtual environments. EGVE 08 will provide an opportunity for virtual reality researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations of their work, and discuss emerging directions for the field. Call for papers Original, unpublished papers documenting new research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications, from all areas of virtual environments, are invited. The best full-length papers will be invited to extend their work and publish in the Computer & Graphics journal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Interaction techniques for VR - Tracking & Sensing - Immersive projection technologies - Haptics, audio and multimodal interfaces - VR system architecture and development - 3D input and output devices - Augmented and mixed reality (AR and MR) - Collaborative and distributed VR - User studies and evaluation - Presence and cognition - Interactive rendering, modeling and simulation - VR, AR, and MR applications Important dates 14th January 2008 : full and short paper submission 17th March 2008 : decisions to authors 17th April 2008 : camera-ready version due 29th-30th May 2008 : EGVE symposium dates Program Chairs Robert van Liere, Center for Mathematics and Computer Science, Netherlands Betty Mohler, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics
