The goal of these presentations is to facilitate the dissemination of research results of each lab, both to the research and to the industrial communities, and consequently to boost future collaboration. Both posters coupled with demonstrations and short oral presentations will be included. ************************************************************ * * Demonstrations * ************************************************************ A demonstration area will offer experimental systems on any of the conference streams. As the complete list of demonstrations is not available at the time of printing the advance programme, an updated list of demonstrations will be made available on the EG'96 WWW server. ************************************************************ * * Exhibition * ************************************************************ This year, special care has been given to the industrial exhibition, which will take place from August 27 to 30 at the conference center. Leading international companies will demonstrate their latest hardware and software developments and applications in the field. The exhibition will offer an opportunity for conference participants to keep themselves abreast of what is going on in the computer graphics market, and for exhibitors to establish trade connections to potential customers. In addition, publishers will present new books and journals on computer graphics and related fields. The exhibition will be open to a large public of professionnals from 9.00am to 6.00 pm; admission is free for all conference participants. Display space is strictly limited and potential exhibitors should secure their place in advance. ************************************************************ * * Slides, Videos and WWW Competitions * ************************************************************ Eurographics'96 will host competitions to reward the most innovative use of computer graphics in three media: slides, videos, world wide web. A broad array of works will be shown all day throughout the conference. The best submissions will be selected by an international jury and awarded during the closing session. ************************************************************ * * Special Student Discount (for group only) * ************************************************************ For 1 full proposer registration (conference + at least 1 tutorial), get 1 discounted registration* for a student of your lab; for each additional proposer registration from the same lab, get 2 more discounted registrations. * For only 500 FF, the special student rate comprises: 1 conference registration (3 days) + 2 tutorials (without proceedings and reports).
