Example applications of this fusion include: representations of real buildings in virtual environments, historical and cultural setting reconstruction and presentation, virtual graphics overlay of real buildings for navigational support, education, or architectural presentation. The symposium will have a mixture of invited lectures by established researchers and research presentations describing current results. Topics of interest (but not limited to) include the following: 3D Reconstruction Architectural Photogrammetry Plenoptic recovery Uncalibrated recovery of buildings from video Range sensors for environment scanning Multi-scan fusion Data representations for environments Use of architectural knowledge Media/tourism applications Architectural applications Construction industry applications Video registration Interaction in virtual and augmented environments User navigation in virtual buildings Physics in virtual buildings Realistic rendering of architecture Hardware for augmented reality Interactive buildings Fusion of video with virtual components Autonomous avatars in augmented/virtual buildings The event is organized by the EC TMR Network CAMERA, the Eurographics Association, the Department of Computer Science at Trinity College, Dublin and the Division of Informatics at Edinburgh University. VAA01 LOCATION ================ The event will take place at the campus of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Dublin is an attractive and bustling city, famous for its Guinness, Book of Kells, literary figures and its after-hours craic. Dublin has good flight connections to all countries in Europe and connections to all major cities in America and Asia.
