----------------------------------------------


The 17th ACM International Web3D Conference will address a wide range of
research topics related to Web-based 3D Graphics. These topics include:
representation and modeling methods, content analysis, rendering, distributed
virtual environments, large-scale databases, Web-wide human-computer
interaction, as well as innovative tools and applications. On the one hand,
authoring and delivering educational contents is one of the main interests of
this edition of the conference. The creation of educational materials, such as
interactive electronic technical manuals (especially for
Augmented-Reality-based scenarios) will be supported, as well as the approach
to incorporate advanced real-time rendering features into the X3D standard, in
a generic way that is independent from the specific rendering method. On the
other hand, the conference will particularly focus on novel mobile AR
applications, innovative 3D graphics Web applications and novel Medical and
eHealth developments, aside from contents over 3D Internet.
The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event that gathers researchers,
developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists, and content creators in a
dynamic environment. Attendees can share and explore methods of using,
enhancing, and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as WebGL
and HTML5 (which is a hot topic in Computer Graphics), Flash/ Stage 3D, X3D,
COLLADA, and the MPEG family. The conference highlights capabilities and
trends in interactive 3D graphics across a wide range of applications and
supports research from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments.


Topics
---------
Topics may include, but are not limited to:
*             Modeling, processing, analysis and rendering of complex
geometry, structure, and behaviors
*             3D search, shape matching and indexing
*             Rendering algorithms and standardization and visualization of
large data sets
*             Interaction methods for online 3D content
*             Interactive 3D graphics for mobile devices
*             Mixed and Augmented Reality (including standardization aspects)
*             Agents, animated humanoids, and complex reactive characters
*             Remote rendering and streaming
*             Stereo and multi-view visualization of 3D graphic interfaces
*             High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments,
tele-presence, tele-operation, and 3D broadcasting
*             Web, multimedia and standards integration and interoperation.

Authors are also invited to submit advances in the above technologies applied
to multimedia applications in:
*             Automotive, Security, Transport Industries
*             Life sciences and healthcare
*             Geospatial modeling and digital cities
*             Public sector and tourism
*             Cultural heritage and E-learning.


Papers Submission Instructions
------------------------------------------
Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 9 pages, including figures
and references) or short papers (up to 4 pages, including figures and
references) in PDF format via the SRM Submission Site.
Papers must be formatted using the document templates for conferences
sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. Upon acceptance, the final revised paper is
required also in electronic form. Accepted papers and posters will appear in
the Web3D 2012 Conference Proceedings, published by ACM Press.


Posters Submission Instructions
-------------------------------------------
For the first time, there is an invitation for submitting proposals for
technical poster presentations at Web3D 2012. Poster submissions (1 page) can
e.g. describe recently completed work, highly relevant results of work in
progress, as well as successfully developed systems and applications.
Posters must be formatted using the document templates for conferences
sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. Upon acceptance, the final revised poster is
required also in electronic form.
Accepted Posters will be also presented in the SIGGRAPH 2012 Poster area.
