AIM AND SCOPE
=============

This symposium aims to bring together researchers investigating
the intersection of architecture, computer graphics and computer
vision. Example applications of this fusion include: representations
of real buildings in virtual environments, historical and cultural
setting reconstruction and presentation, virtual graphics overlay of
real buildings for navigational support, education, or architectural
presentation.

The symposium will have a mixture of invited lectures by established
researchers and research presentations describing current results.
Topics of interest (but not limited to) include the following:

        3D Reconstruction
        Architectural Photogrammetry
        Plenoptic recovery
        Uncalibrated recovery of buildings from video
        Range sensors for environment scanning
        Multi-scan fusion
        Data representations for environments
        Use of architectural knowledge
        Media/tourism applications
        Architectural applications
        Construction industry applications
        Video registration
        Interaction in virtual and augmented environments
        User navigation in virtual buildings
        Physics in virtual buildings
        Realistic rendering of architecture
        Hardware for augmented reality
        Interactive buildings
        Fusion of video with virtual components
        Autonomous avatars in augmented/virtual buildings
        
The event is organized by the EC TMR Network CAMERA, the Eurographics
Association, the Department of Computer Science at Trinity College, Dublin
and the Division of Informatics at Edinburgh University.
