Track on: Virtual Reality, Digital Media, and Computer Games

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

SAC’2002:

For the past sixteen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP); its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM’s Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp/.

Special Track on Virtual Reality, Digital Media, and Computer Games

The distinctions between virtual reality, animation, and computer games are blurring, and there is growing convergence between their media; Internet, Television broadcasting, consoles, film, wireless devices, and Interactive TV. Research and development in these fields is making rapid progress, due to their inherent attraction for diverse areas such as education, e-commerce, entertainment and computer games, heritage, telecommunications, engineering, film and other media.

Major topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Computer animation

Computer games engines
