Call for Papers

We are pleased to announce the 9th Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation VRIPHYS 2012. The workshop is hosted by the Graduate School of Computational Engineering and the Interactive Graphics Systems Group at the Technical University of Darmstadt and Fraunhofer IGD. 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

Best paper awards

A “Best Paper Award” will be given to the author(s) of a full paper presented at the conference, selected by the Organizing Committee. The “Best Paper Award” is a Tesla™ C2075 computing processor (or similar) sponsored by NVIDIA. Furthermore, the authors of the two best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the journal Computers & Graphics.
