From: Andrew Woods Subject: CONF: Stereoscopic Displays and Applications 1997 Date: Thu, 16 May 1996 16:03:09 +0800 Organization: Curtin University - Centre for Marine Science and Technology Call For Papers: Stereoscopic Displays and Applications VIII ------------------------------------------- Part of IS&T/SPIE's 1997 Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & Technology 8-14 February 1997, San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California, USA Conference Scott S. Fisher, Telepresence Research, Inc. (USA); Chairs: John O. Merritt, Interactive Technologies (USA) Conference Shojiro Nagata, Japan 3D Forum/InterVision (Japan); Committee: Michael A. Weissman, Perspective Systems (USA); 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 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 *highly* encouraged and facilities for stereoscopic still and video projection will be provided. Papers are solicited for, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Advances in Stereoscopic 3D Display Technologies - methods for recording, playback, and compression of stereoscopic video - autostereoscopic displays and "virtual window" displays - software issues, requirements, and developments for stereo imaging - stereoscopic image sequence coding. * 3D Image Acquisition/Generation Techniques - single- and multilens camera systems - motion prallax, volume projection, graphical construction, and other stereo image generation techniques. * Design, Development, and Evaluation of Stereoscopic Displays for - teleoperation - telepresence - telesurgery - augmented reality. * Applications of Stereoscopic 3D Displays in areas such as - broadcast TV - telerobotics - scientific visualization - medical imaging - industrial inspection - communications - entertainment - training - CAD/CAM - molecular modeling - advertising. * Cost/Benefit Tradeoffs in Stereoscopic 3D Displays - task performance comparisons with non-stereoscopic displays - side-benefits of stereoscopic 3D display techniques - evaluation methodologies (e.g. depth-acuity measurement). * User-Interface Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays - perceptual and cognitive guidelines for stereoscopic 3D displays - 3D manipulation and control of viewpoint - ortho-stereo, hyper-stereo, and geometry of perceptual space. This conference is just one of nearly 30 conferences to be held at the EI'97 symposium. And EI'97 is one of 4 collocated symposia (Electronic Imaging, Biomedical Optics, Lasers and Applications, and Optoelectronics).
