AIM AND SCOPE
=============

This symposium aims to bring together researchers investigating
the intersection of architecture, computer graphics and computer
vision. 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 draft program is included below.
        
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.

TIMETABLE
=========

        Early Registration Deadline       1 May 2001
        Conference                        21-22 June 2001
