VRIPHYS 2012 - 9th Workshop on Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation

VRIPHYS is one of the well-established international conferences in the field of computer animation and virtual reality. The workshop provides an opportunity for researches in virtual reality and computer animation to present and discuss their latest results and to share ideas for potential directions of future research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
animation, e. g. physically-based, vision-based, knowledge-based and geometric approaches
virtual and augmented reality
planning, learning, optimization for animation
interfaces for creating and editing animations
perception in animation
autonomous characters, group and crowd behavior
natural phenomena
mathematical foundations of animation
haptics
sound interfaces
related techniques, e. g. collision detection and contact handling
applications, e. g. in robotics, medicine, entertainment
