apologies if you receive multiple copies of this --------- Web3D 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS ======================================================================== MAJOR NEWS: * Web3D 2007 to be held in Perugia, Italy * Broadened scope that includes related areas, e.g. 3D on mobile devices and 3D in interactive media * Full and Short Paper tracks ======================================================================== ======================================================================== Web3D 2007: The 12th International Conference on 3D Web Technology 15-18 April 2007 University of Perugia, Umbria, ITALY ======================================================================== Twelfth in the series, the 2007 ACM International Web3D Symposium will address a wide range of topics about 3D on the Internet and on Multimedia, including languages, tools, rendering techniques, human-computer interaction aspects, mobile devices, and innovative applications. The annual ACM Web3D Symposium is a major event which unites researchers, developers, experimenters, and content creators in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing, or creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as (but not limited to) X3D, VRML, MPEG4, MPEG7, U3D, Collada, Acrobat3D and Java3D. The symposium will also focus on recent trends, such as interactive 3D graphics and its applications on mobile devices. Authors are invited to submit their work (short or full papers) for review by the international Program Committee. Both research and applications papers are of interest to Web3D 2007. The papers must be innovative and contribute to the advancement of 3D technologies on the Web and on Multimedia. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: o interactive 3D graphics for PDAs and cellular phones o Innovative applications using 3D graphics on the Web/Multimedia in industry, science, medicine, and education o User-interface paradigms and interaction methods for real-time 3D graphics virtual environments o Animated humanoids and complex reactive characters o High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments and tele- operation systems o Integration and interoperation with Web/Multimedia standards, including SVG, SMIL and Semantic Web technologies o Methods for modeling and rendering complex geometry, structure and behaviors Submission instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 9 pages (including figures and references) or short papers of up to 4 pages (including figures and references) in PDF format via the Symposium Submission Site. Papers must be formatted using the document templates for conferences sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. After acceptance, the final revised paper is required also in electronic form. Accepted papers will appear in the Symposium Proceedings, published by ACM Press.
