*** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***
Joint ACM SIGGRAPH/EUROGRAPHICS Campfire on
ACOUSTIC RENDERING FOR VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
http://www.bell-labs.com/topic/conferences/campfire/
May 26th-29th, Snowbird, Utah, USA
** Registration deadline is March 9, 2001. **

Alan Chalmers (Bristol University)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACM SIGGRAPH and EUROGRAPHICS are sponsoring a small workshop
(campfire) on "Acoustic rendering for virtual environments". The main
aims of the Campfire are: sharing information and forging new research
directions. Because of the interesting mix of disciplines, there will
be both introductory information-sharing sessions and more focused
panels and presentations which will concentrate on the challenges of
this interdisciplinary domain.
The event will be held in Snowbird, Utah (minutes from Salt Lake City)
on May 26th-29th 2001 (Memorial weekend).
PROPOSED TOPICS
---------------
We suggest the following topics as a basis for submission/discussion:
- Simulation: real-time acoustic simulation techniques,
efficient geometrical techniques for acoustics,
validation
- Perception: audio/visual interaction in virtual worlds and combined
audio/visual perception. Psycho-acoustics of sound
reverberation, diffraction, etc.
- Hardware and programming: audio processing hardware and virtual
acoustics APIs.
- DSP and audio technology: real-time digital signal processing
techniques and audio reproduction techniques
(surround sound, etc.)
- Systems and applications: virtual reality audio/visual system
integration and applications.
SUBMISSION & REGISTRATION
-------------------------
All attendees are required to compose a short position paper (1-5
pages), indicating their area of expertise, what they would like to
learn from the Campfire, and issues they wish to discuss. Please feel
free to suggest additional topics to the proposed list.
Places on the campfire are restricted, and will be allocated on a
first-come, first-served basis. A place will be reserved for you upon
receipt of your position paper. This will be confirmed once you have
registered and paid the appropriate fee.
