******************************************** ********** CALL FOR REGISTRATION ********** ******************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Third Workshop in Virtual Reality Interactions and Physical Simulations (VRIPhys '06) http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys06/ Móstoles, Madrid, Spain, 6th-7th November2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the third edition of the workshop organized in cooperation with Eurographics. The workshop is an international forum for researchers in the domains of dynamic simulation and physical interaction in computer graphics. This year there will be sessions in Deformable Objects, Collision Detection, Dynamic and Medical Simulations. There are two invited talks and a session of posters and demos. This a short summary of the program (find further details at http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys06/?section=program ) ****************************** **** PRELIMINARY PROGRAM ***** ****************************** Day 1 : November 6th 2006 Invited talk: Matthias Müller-Fischer (AGEIA) "Physically Based Simulation - Academic Research and What Works in Games" Session 1: Deformable objects * Non structured meshes for Cloth CPU simulation using FEM A.
