WEB3D 2015 – 20th International Conference on 3D Web Technology
June 18-21 – Heraklion, Crete, Greece
The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event which unites researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists and content creators in a dynamic learning environment. Attendees share and explore methods of using, enhancing and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies such as WebGL, X3D, VRML, Collada, MPEG family, U3D, Java3D and other technologies. The conference also focuses on recent trends in interactive 3D graphics, information integration and usability in the wide range of Web3D applications from mobile devices to high-end immersive environments.
This year’s event will be located in Heraklion, Crete.
TOPICS
We welcome the submission of papers presenting original work in Web3D research and application on the topics including but not limited to as described below. All submissions will be peer-reviewed for quality and contribution by the conference International Program Committee. In collaboration with the Editor-in-Chief of Graphical Models, the best papers of Web3D 2015 will be invited to submit their extended versions for publication in a forthcoming special issue of the journal after an additional review cycle.
The 20th International Conference on 3D Web Technology (Web3D2015) will address an extensive range of research topics related to Web-based 3D Graphics. These topics include research on simulation and training using Web3D, enabling technology of web-aware, interactive 3D graphics from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments, and the use of ubiquitous multi-media across a wide range of applications and environments from:
- Cultural Heritage
