WORKSHOP IN VIRTUAL REALITY INTERACTION and PHYSICAL SIMULATION
(VRIPHYS '04)
Papers due: May 17, 2004
Notification of acceptance: June 18, 2004
Deadline for camera-ready version: June 28, 2004

//===========================================================
The workshop is organized in the framework of the annual meeting "Encuentro
internacional de Ciencias de la Computación" ENC'2004 of the Mexican
Society
for Computer Science.
In recent years, much research has been done in virtual reality technology
to advance other fields such as medicine, engineering, training, education
and entertainment. Realistic virtual environments require real-time visual
rendering of data and fast computations of physical complex phenomena that
combine movements, deformations, interactions. This problem is constrained
further if some applications require high interactivity tasks, such as
videogames or surgery simulators.
It is a forum for students, researchers and computer science professionals.
//===========================================================
OBJECTIVES
//===========================================================
* To present high level research in the domains of dynamic simulation and
physical interaction in virtual reality environments.
* To identify and put together the scientific mexican community doing
research
in the domains of computer graphics and virtual reality.
* Considering virtual reality as a multidisciplinary domain, we seek to
introduce other researchers, from different backgrounds, the potential
advantages of using virtual environments that might open new advantages
in their research fields.
* To attract application developers and show them the envelope of what
can be
done in virtual reality and computer graphics. We seek to encourage
developers
to work together with researchers and provide products that are truely
usable,
rather than just a demo.
//===========================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
//===========================================================
We invite communications that describe innovative research in the
domains of
dynamic
simulations and physical interactions in virtual reality. We also welcome
papers
showing on-going research with promising results and new technology with
applications related.
Topics :
Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas:
- Physically based dynamics
- Collision detection techniques
- Cloth & deformable bodies
- Natural phenomena modeling (plants, clouds, ...)
- Geometric algorithms for physical simulation
- Haptic interactions & virtual reality interfaces
- Mathematical foundations of animation
- Applications (surgery simulations...)
- Physics for video games
//===========================================================
SELECTION CRITERIA
//===========================================================
Papers will be blinded peer-reviewed by the international committee of this
workshop.
The authors of the best paper will be invited to submit an extended version
of the paper for reviewing and possible publication in the Journal
"Computacion y Sistemas" (
http://cic.ipn.mx/revistas/).
//===========================================================
