VRIPHYS 09 Sixth Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation November 5-6, 2009 Karlsruhe, Germany ======================== July 3, paper submission ======================== Conference Chairs: Hartmut Prautzsch, University of Karlsruhe Alfred Schmitt, University of Karlsruhe Jan Bender, University of Karlsruhe Matthias Teschner, University of Freiburg Information: http://www.vriphys.org/workshops/vriphys09/ =============================== We are pleased to announce the sixth Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 09. The workshop is hosted by the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. It is organized in cooperation with Eurographics. VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an opportunity for researches in virtual reality and computer animation to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - animation, e. g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based and geometric approaches - virtual and augmented reality - planning, learning, optimization for animation, - interfaces for creating and editing animations - perception in animation - autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior - natural phenomena - mathematical foundations of animation - haptics - sound interfaces - related techniques, e. g. collision detection and contact handling - applications, e. g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment =============================== Important Dates: July 3, paper submission Aug 21, notification Sep 4, camera-ready version Sep 11, early-bird registration Nov 5-6, conference =============================== Paper submissions in PDF should be formatted according to the EG publication style.
