From: Andrew Woods Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds Subject: CFP: Stereoscopic Displays and Engineering VR'96 Date: 12 Apr 1995 01:49:50 GMT Organization: Curtin University of Technology CALL FOR PAPERS: =============== IS&T/SPIE's Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology 28 January - 2 February 1996 San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California USA 30 Technical Conferences -- Short Courses -- Technical Exhibition =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Stereoscopic Displays and Applications VII =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Conference Chairs: Scott S. Fisher, Telepresence Research, Inc.; John O. Merritt, Interactive Technologies Conference Committee: David F. McAllister, North Carolina State Univ.; Shojiro Nagata, Japan 3D Forum/InterVision (Japan); Michael A. Weissman, Perspective Systems; Andrew J. Woods, Curtin Univ. of Technology (Australia) This conference will focus on the most recent advances in stereoscopic display hardware and software technologies, as well as applications that illustrate the user-interface issues and cost/benefit tradeoffs of stereoscopic 3D displays. For both real-world and computer-generated applications, there is a growing need for display techniques that permit the user to perceive objects in their relative spatial locations and to move through the display space and manipulate objects easily and accurately. A parallel focus on human-machine interface research and applications requirements is intended to help guide future development and evaluation of 3D display technologies. The conference will permit practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to exchange current information on stereoscopic 3D display techniques and applications. Demonstrations of technologies and applications are encouraged. Papers are solicited for, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Advances in Stereoscopic 3D Display Technologies - 3D image acquisition/generation techniques - methods for recording and playback of stereoscopic video - software issues, requirements, and developments for stereoscopic imaging. * Applications of Stereoscopic 3D Displays in areas such as - telerobotics - scientific visualization - medical imaging - entertainment - advertising. * Cost/Benefit Tradeoffs in Stereoscopic 3D Displays - task performance comparisons with non-stereoscopic displays - side-benefits of stereoscopic 3D display techniques - evaluation methodologies. * User-Interface Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays - perceptual and cognitive guidelines for stereoscopic 3D displays - 3D manipulation and control of viewpoint - hyper-stereo, stereo-window positioning issues. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Engineering Reality of Virtual Reality 1996 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Conference Chairs: Mark T. Bolas, Fakespace, Inc.; Scott S. Fisher, Telepresence Research Conference Committee: Steve T. Bryson, NASA Ames Research Ctr.; Jim Humphries, Sterling Software, Inc.; Henry Sowizral, Boeing Computer Services As virtual and augmented reality systems become more accepted and accessible, they are evolving to provide utility in addition to promise. In order to continue this trend, practitioners find that a number of often disparate technologies and disciplines must be tailored and integrated for specific visualization and interaction applications. This conference serves as a forum where advances and practical advice toward this end can be presented and discussed. Papers with a systems and application-specific point of view that discuss findings or advances in any of the following areas are solicited: - graphics generation hardware and software - interface devices and paradigms - display and optics configurations and technologies - tracking and sensing technologies - communication and networking hardware and software - novel simulation systems and devices - ergonomics and human factors. Work-in-progress papers are especially encouraged. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DUE DATES AND ABSTRACT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR ELECTRONIC IMAGING '96 Paper Abstracts Due from Authors: 3 JULY 1995 Full Manuscripts Due from Authors: 2 JANUARY 1996 Send a 250 word abstract of your paper, by the abstract deadline, in ONE of the following ways: >>mail (please mail 4 hard copies) to: SPIE/IS&T'S ELECTRONIC IMAGING '96 SPIE, P.O.
