[vslist] First Symposium on Applied Perception ( ACM SIGGRAPH)

[Buelthoff Heinrich H.]

First Symposium on Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization
	   Co-sponsored by and co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH
		August 7-8, 2004, Los Angeles, California

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Research in computer graphics and visualization has great potential to
benefit from, and contribute to, research in perception. This symposium
seeks to provide a forum for the wider exchange of ideas and information
between members of the graphics and visualization communities who are
using insights from visual/auditory/haptic perception to advance the
design and guide the evaluation of methods for more effective
visual/auditory/haptic representation, and members of the vision
sciences community who are using computer graphics to facilitate the
investigation of fundamental processes of perception. 
Submissions are invited in the broad range of areas at the intersection
of computer graphics, visualization and perception. Specific examples
include, but are not limited to: 

applications of insights from perception to the development of
algorithms for more efficient/effective/realistic modeling, rendering
and/or animation;

applications of perception in the design and evaluation of methods for
more effective representation and communication of data; 

the study of perception and perceptual issues in virtual environments. 

Submissions are particularly welcome in all areas of basic perception
research that have applications in computer graphics and visualization. 

Proceedings, which will include the poster abstracts, will be published
by ACM SIGGRAPH. Best papers from the symposium will be invited to be
extended for a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Applied
Perception. http://www.acm.org/tap/
