One of the few truly nternational computer graphics organizations, CGI and CGS were started by rofessor Kunii in the early 1980's as CG Tokyo. After some initial uccesses in Tokyo, adding an exhibition and having a few thousands articipants in total each year, the conference moved into the nternational arena. Recent conferences have been held in the UK, Korea, elgium, Germany, Canada, Geneva, and Hong Kong. Papers presenting original research in computer graphics are being sought. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): Computer Animation Image Based Rendering Computer Art Non Photo-realistic Rendering Rendering Techniques Virtual Reality Geometric and Solid Modeling Computational Geometry Physically Based Modeling Graphics Hardware Architecture Volume Visualization Data Compression Scientific Visualization Geographic Information Systems Real Time Graphics Digital Libraries Multimedia Computer Vision Digital Media Games Cyberspace Applications Graphics for Internet and Mobile Systems Contribution of Art to Scientific Understanding In addition to the Papers Track technical program, we plan to have two dditional tracks: 1. The Professional Track will focus on the commercial applications and ndustrial use of computer graphics and digital media systems. 2. The Cultural Track for those interested in culture, heritage and media.
