To allow scientists to undertake experimental and predictive theorems on 3D ambiance. An IADIS meeting for those who want to push the web3D forward and benefit from this! This IADIS conference is meant both for web-site developers, advertisers, usability evaluators and communication architects; you are all actors in the critical stage of adopting 3D "Immersion" or lose your competitive edge. This conference addresses important topics of today like education, health, corporate image and make customers feel at home at your internet site. Virtual reality already proved its superiority in involving the user. Indeed, medical, defense, architecture and even the car industry managed to increase learning effects and sensation. If it comes to addressing a larger WWW-public, still critical mass needs to be reached. You will not miss the next step in VR web integration. Keynote speeches, invited lecturers and workshop leaders will bring you to the best technologies nowadays. The phase of risk and pioneering is left behind. t is just a matter of understanding the problem and its opportunities; many cutting edge companies are now able to provide compact solutions. The only thing you have to decide is: What spatial experience your user needs to have. The important topics of today like education, health and energy all benefit from web3D if present in their content. We want to discuss in Algarve, Portugal how to make the web3D one of the central topics of the web content in the near future. This is clearly inevitable to happen, we just want to push it forward and benefit from that. The conference will help you to avoid obstacles from the past: - Standards to be obeyed - Bridging users' imagination with your product reality - Avoid lengthy navigations in VR - Build upon existing 3D models - Capture both the gaming generation and who still believe in 2D documents - And more to say from your experience The summer conference in Algarve offers you a relaxed period, full of inspiration and innovative plans; All the goodies that might get lost during hectic life. Let us help you to build upon success stories in the recent past. - You are the expert in knowing why new media might not work. - We take the lead to convince yourself why it should work the coming years. There is no way back; the web experiences will change visitors' expectations soon. So let's find together the break-through web3D recipes on the Algarve conference, Portugal 19-21 June 2009! Please look to the total spectrum of thematic strands that you are entitled to join; indeed it is a rich context for all who see the next step. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.
