   First Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization=20
             Co-sponsored by and co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH
                August 7-8, 2004, Los Angeles, California

                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Research in computer graphics and visualization has great potential to
benefit from, and contribute to, research in perception.  This symposium
seeks to provide a forum for the wider exchange of ideas and information
between members of the graphics and visualization communities who are=20
using insights from visual/auditory/haptic perception to advance the =
design
and guide the evaluation of methods for more effective
visual/auditory/haptic representation, and members of the vision =
sciences
community who are using computer graphics to facilitate the =
investigation of
fundamental processes of perception.

Submissions are invited in the broad range of areas at the intersection =
of
computer graphics, visualization and perception.  Specific examples =
include,
but are not limited to:
  - applications of insights from perception to the development of
algorithms for more efficient/effective/realistic modeling, rendering=20
and/or animation;
  - applications of perception in the design and evaluation of methods =
for
more effective representation and communication of data;
  - the study of perception and perceptual issues in virtual =
environments.

Submissions are particularly welcome in all areas of basic perception
research that have applications in computer graphics and visualization.=20

Proceedings, which will include the poster abstracts, will be published =
by
ACM SIGGRAPH.  Best papers from the symposium will be invited to be =
extended
for a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception.

Submission Deadlines:
    April 18th:
        - full papers (up to 8 pages)
        - short papers (up to 4 pages)
    May 16th:
        - posters (up to 1 page abstract)

Early Registration deadline:  June 14th
