CALL FOR PAPERS: Stereoscopic Displays and Applications 1998

[P3D Andrew Woods <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

We are currently seeking abstract submissions for the 1998
Stereoscopic Displays and Applications conference to be held in
San Jose in January 1998.  I have attached the CALL FOR PAPERS
for the conference below - abstracts are due June 30, 1997 - please
consider submitting an abstract.

If you are unfamiliar with the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications
conference, I have reviews of past conferences available on my web site
including lots of photographs taken at the conferences.

     CALL FOR PAPERS: Stereoscopic Displays and Applications IX
                      =========================================

    Part of IS&T/SPIE's 1998 Symposium on Electronic Imaging: Science & 
                  Technology, 24-30 January 1998
         San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, California, USA

Conference Chairs: Scott S. Fisher, Telepresence Research, Inc. (USA); 
                   John O. Merritt, Interactive Technologies (USA)

Conference Committee: Shojiro Nagata, Japan 3D Forum/InterVision (Japan); 
                      Michael A. Weissman, Perspective Systems (USA); 
                      Andrew J. Woods, Curtin Univ. of Technology (Australia)

This conference will focus on the most recent advances in stereoscopic
display hardware and software technologies, as well as applications that
illustrate the user-interface issues and cost/benefit tradeoffs of stereoscopic
3D displays. For both real-world and computer-generated applications,
there is a growing need for display techniques that permit the user to
perceive objects in their relative spatial locations and to move through the
display space and manipulate objects easily and accurately. A parallel focus
on human interface research and applications requirements is intended to
help guide future development and evaluation of 3D display technologies.
The conference will permit practitioners and researchers from industry and
academia to exchange current information on stereoscopic 3D display
techniques and applications.

Demonstrations of technologies and applications are *highly* encouraged
and facilities for stereoscopic still and video projection will be provided.
Papers are solicited for, but are not limited to, the following topics:

    * Advances in Stereoscopic 3D Display Technologies 
         - methods for recording, playback, and compression of
         - stereoscopic video 
         - autostereoscopic displays and "virtual window" displays 
         - software issues, requirements, and developments for stereo
           imaging 
         - stereoscopic image sequence coding.

    * 3D Image Acquisition/Generation Techniques 
         - single- and multilens camera systems 
         - motion prallax, volume projection, graphical construction, and
           other stereo image generation techniques.

    * Design, Development, and Evaluation of Stereoscopic Displays for 
         - teleoperation 
         - telepresence 
         - telesurgery 
         - augmented reality.

    * Applications of Stereoscopic 3D Displays in areas such as 
         - broadcast TV 
         - telerobotics 
         - scientific visualization 
         - medical imaging 
         - industrial inspection 
         - communications 
         - entertainment 
         - training 
         - CAD/CAM 
         - molecular modeling 
         - advertising.

    * Cost/Benefit Tradeoffs in Stereoscopic 3D Displays 
         - task performance comparisons with non-stereoscopic displays 
         - side-benefits of stereoscopic 3D display techniques 
         - evaluation methodologies (e.g. depth-acuity measurement).

    * User-Interface Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays 
        -  perceptual and cognitive guidelines for stereoscopic 3D displays 
        -  3D manipulation and control of viewpoint 
        -  ortho-stereo, hyper-stereo, and geometry of perceptual space.
