EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS APPROACHING: 31 MARCH The Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments will take place in Lisbon, Portugal on May 8 - 10, 2006. Details of the programme are now available at http://www.adetti.pt/events/EGVE06/ We have assembled a high-quality programme of full papers, research sketches and invited talks, organised as a single track. We are particularly pleased that Roberta Klatzky, Professor of Psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, will give a keynote talk entitled 'How Psychophysics can Inform Device Design for Virtual and Augmented Reality'. For anyone involved in virtual environments this is surely an opportunity not to be missed! The Symposium will take place in the Gulbenkian Foundation Congress Centre. On the website you can find details of the programme, registration procedure, and hotel reservations. Do make the trip if you can. It promises to be an enjoyable and stimulating event. We hope to see you in Lisbon. Joaquim Jorge EGVE Symposium Chair Ming Lin and Roger Hubbold IPC Co-Chairs
