Web3D 2018 - 23rd International ACM Conference on 3D Web Technology

The 23rd International ACM Conference on 3D Web Technology (Web3D 2018), organized in cooperation with the Web3D Consortium, will address an extensive range of research, development, and practice related to web-based interactive 3D applications. The goal of the conference is to share innovative and creative ideas that enable development of 3D applications for a wide range of 3D environments, including the web, mobile as well as virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR) setups. Works related to various application domains, including e-commerce, education, cultural heritage, entertainment and infotainment, social media, tourism, medicine, military, industry and construction (and many others) are welcome.
This year’s theme “3D Everywhere” emphasizes the global scope and impact of current and future 3D technology. Web3D wants to foster and support the increasing development, use, and utility of 3D technologies for application developers, domain experts, as well as for end users. This includes the creation of interactive 3D content, robust and versatile 3D content representation and delivery standards, as well as presentation and interaction techniques enabling development of user-friendly 3D applications.
The main topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:
Technologies and methods for WebVR, WebAR, and mixed reality
Novel multi-modal 3D interaction paradigms, including spatial UI, gesture, and voice
Online visualization and exploration, e.g., for sci-vis, info-vis, and 3D object repositories
Novel 3D content creation and modelling techniques, tools, and workflows, including semantic and AI techniques
Algorithms for shape modeling, compression, optimization, analysis, and processing
3D content acquisition, e.g., scanning, reconstruction, etc.
Rendering of large-scale models, animations, and virtual worlds, including cloud-based rendering and other services
Streaming, compression, and transmission of 3D content, in particular in mobile networks
Collaboration in multi-user virtual environments
Novel APIs, toolkits, and frameworks for 3D web and associated application domains
Virtual humans, avatars, and complex reactive characters
Motion capture for composition and streaming of behaviors and expressions
Annotation, metadata, hyperlinking and semantic web for 3D objects and scenes
Visual analytics based on 3D web technologies
Diffusion and adoption of 3D web technologies
Novel interactive 3D web applications in all areas and sectors, e.g., entertainment,
education, training, cultural heritage, medicine, military, smart-manufacturing / industry 4.0,
information visualization, scientific visualization, geo-visualization, building information modeling (BIM), and architecture.
