CAivDE – Computer Animation, Information Visualisation, and Digital Effects

Computer Animation is a challenging application in Computer Graphics & Visualisation. This symposium is designed to provide a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners in this field to share their opinions. The symposium aims to identify presentations on Key research issues, review the current state-of-the-art developments, and outline future directions. This, embedded with the current research being undertaken in industry and academia, will provide coverage of the salient aspects and sub-areas of Computer Animation within the field of visualisation, computer-generated graphics, and beyond.This symposium seeks original paper projects that are either completed, or still in the production stage, that deal with, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Motion Synthesis and motion capture
  • Physics-based animation
  • Vision techniques in animation
  • Modelling in animation
  • Rendering and lighting techniques
  • Animation of deformable materials and characters
  • Modelling and animation of heads, faces, and hair
  • Animation of natural phenomena
  • Real-time simulation used for visualisation
  • Simulations for virtual reality, training, and online education
  • Forensic animation and its applications
  • Animation for Scientific and medical visualisation
