-------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces 2009 March 14-15, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA (in conjunction with IEEE Virtual Reality 2009) 3DUI 2009 - Call for Papers http://conferences.computer.org/3dui The IEEE Symposium on 3D User Interfaces 2009 is the fourth international symposium focused on the topic of 3D UIs and will be held to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and academic researchers working in various 3DUI research areas and to trigger discussions among participants. It builds on successful 3DUI workshops in 2004 and 2005, as well as the IEEE 3DUI Symposiums in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The symposium will last for two days, and will be followed immediately by the IEEE VR conference. The theme of the Symposium will cover all areas of 3D UI research. The Symposium themes include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * 3D input devices * 3D display devices * 3D interaction techniques * 3D user interface metaphors * 3D UIs for games * 3D UIs for CAD * Applications of 3D UI techniques * Biologically inspired 3D UIs * Collaborative 3D interaction * Desktop 3D UIs * Evaluation methods for 3D UIs The Symposium solicits high quality papers and tech-notes within the scope of 3DUI (see the double-submission policy on the 3DUI www server). Papers (up to 8 pages) should describe original and mature research results and will typically include some evidence of the validity of the presented research. Examples of such evidence may include, but are not limited to, a user evaluation, formal proof, or well substantiated argumentation. Tech-notes (up to 4 pages) should contain unpublished preliminary results of research or design work. Papers and Tech-notes should be prepared in IEEE VGTC format (http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html) submitted through the submission web site in PDF format, and will be reviewed by the program committee and external reviewers. Reviewing is double-blind. Accepted papers and tech-notes will be published by IEEE in the official Symposium proceedings. An International Award Committee will also award Best Paper and Best Tech-notes awards, and authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version to the a journal. For further information and for a detailed statement on double publication, please see the Symposium website: Important Dates ============ * Papers, Tech-notes abstract submission due: October 24, 2008 * Papers, Tech-notes full-version submission due: October 31, 2008 * Posters, Demos submission due: November 14, 2008 * Papers, Tech-notes, Posters and Demos notification: December 19, 2008 * Final camera-ready Papers, Tech-notes, Posters: January 05, 2009 Please understand that the Papers and Tech-notes abstract submission due (October 24) is BEFORE the review decision of the IEEE VR 2009 (November 12) this year, due mainly to a tight reviewing schedule.
