The paper submission deadline has been extended to January 10, 2007 for IMMERSCOM 2007.

The First International Conference on Immersive Telecommunications http://www.immerscom.org

May 3 - 5, 2007, Verona, Italy

IMMERSCOM is the first international conference that focuses on bridging the traditional gap between immersive technologies and networking for the capturing, processing, analyzing, transmitting and enabling the remote fruition of objects, environments, and bio-entities.

The strategic objectives of IMMERSCOM are: + Introduction of networking as the instrument for the remote fruition of immersive multimedia content. + Assessing the sensing, processing, transmission and fruition technologies currently available for immersive telecommunication applications. + Promoting interdisciplinary flow of technical information among industry systems designers and researchers with feedback from the end users.

Proposals are solicited for Workshops to be held as part of the IMMERSCOM conference. Workshops can be half-day or full-day and will be held on May 2, 2007.

The deadline for workshop proposals is October 30, 2006.

Please contact the Workshops Chair Andrea Fusiello at andrea.fusiello@univr.it

Topics include but are not limited to:

Networking for Immersive Applications: Multimedia networking for rich 3D Visualization Mixed/Augmented reality delivery Networked management for immersive applications QoS for immersive applications Perceptual factors in 3D transmission Networking for tele-presence Real-time network protocols for immersive applications Joint source and channel coding for rich 3D visualization and interactive applications Network support for mobile end systems in immersive applications
