THEME: An international workshop to stimulate discussion on the current and future application of all techniques used to capture information on objects and movements through various technologies and integrate them within Virtual Environments. Technologies used may include video, laser, photogrammetry, magnetic sensors, speech, haptic devices etc. This workshop is held in conjunction with the Swiss French 3rd Cycle in Computer Science. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Video Capturing - Vision-based Motion Capture - Motion Analysis - Integration of Graphics and Vision - Laser-based Technologies - Ultrasound-based Technology - Infrared-based Technology - Augmented Reality - Networked Virtual Collaborative Environment (NVCE) - Networked Multimedia and Virtual Environments - 2D/3D Teleconferencing - Real-time Virtual Humans Systems - Automatic 3D Cloning of Faces and Bodies - Real-time Mixing of Real and Synthetic Pictures - Telecommunications networked methods - Audio in NVCE - Speech Analysis and Synthesis in Real-time SUBMISSIONS: 1) to submit a paper send 5 copies to: Professor Nadia Magnenat Thalmann MIRALab, CUI University of Geneva 24, rue du General-Dufour CH 1211 Geneva 4 Switzerland tel. +41-22-705-7769, fax: +41-22-705-7780 Email: Nadia.Thalmann@cui.unige.ch or an electronic copy by anonymous ftp to cuirs1.unige.ch in the directory captech98 (Postscript or acrobat PDF only, no email please) 2) Send a notification by email to Christian.Zanardi@cui.unige.ch including the title and abstract of the paper together with the authors' names, full addresses, and emails.
