Call for Papers Welcome to the Joint IPT/EGVE '03 Workshop Seventh Immersive Projection Technology Workshop together with the Ninth Eurographics Workshop on Virtual Environments In Cooperation with ACM Siggraph May 22-23, 2003, Zurich, Switzerland http://www.ipt-egve.ethz.ch Aims and Scope of the Workshop Joining the two leading virtual environment workshops in Europe in 2003 together with the opening of the highly immersive tele-collaboration system "blue-c" will result in a spectacular - not to be missed - event for researchers and users of virtual environments technology. Following six successful Immersive Projection Technology Workshops and eight Eurographics Workshops on Virtual Environments, we invite you to participate in the joint Seventh Immersive Projection Technology Workshop and Ninth Eurographics Workshop on Virtual Environments. We invite you to share your newest, most unique and outstanding work with the community. Present your findings and experiences in evaluating and using all kinds of immersive projection environments as well as new technical developments in Virtual Environment technology including software systems, interaction devices and applications. Participate in discussions with developers, end-users, educators, artists, and students on challenges and requirements for future developments. You are invited to present your own prototypes and applications on provided hardware platforms (CAVE, Walls, Responsive Workbench) and enjoy new and unique demonstrations and devices from other groups. Topics of interest include but are not limited to · Immersive projection technologies · Output devices, haptics, sound in VE. · 3D input devices and interaction techniques · Human factors and multimodal input for VE · VR systems development · Collaborative and distributed VE · Real-time graphics techniques · Augmented reality · Scientific visualization in VE · VE applications in industry, marketing, entertainment, architecture and art Paper Submission Extended Abstract/Panel Submission Deadline: January 15, 2003 Notification of Acceptance: February 15, 2003 Full Paper/Panel Submission Deadline: March 8, 2003 Authors are requested to prepare their contribution as an extended abstract (minimum 2 pages) or as a full paper (maximum 8 pages). Papers must be prepared as PostScript or PDF file according to the Eurographics Submission Instructions (see http://www.eg.org/EG/Publications/WSPubl).
