<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The 23<span
style="vertical-align: super; font-size:
smaller;">rd</span> International ACM Conference
on 3D Web Technology</b> (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 immersive virtual and augmented reality (VR &
AR) setups. Works related to various application
domains, including e-commerce, education, training,
cultural heritage, medicine, tourism, social media
and entertainment (and many others) are welcome. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> This year’s theme <b>"3D
Everywhere"</b> 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.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px; text-align: justify;">
The main topics of the conference include, but are
not limited to:</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0px; padding-left:16px">
<li>Technologies and methods for WebVR, WebAR, and
mixed realities </li>
<li>Novel multi-modal 3D interaction paradigms,
including spatial UI, gesture, and voice </li>
<li>Online visualization and exploration, e.g., for
sci-vis, info-vis, and 3D object repositories </li>
<li>Novel 3D content creation and modelling
techniques, tools, and workflows, including
semantic and AI techniques </li>
<li>Algorithms for shape modeling, compression,
optimization, analysis, and processing </li>
<li>3D content acquisition, e.g., scanning,
reconstruction, etc. </li>
<li>Rendering of large-scale models, animations, and
virtual worlds, including cloud-based rendering
and other services </li>
<li>Streaming, compression, and transmission of 3D
content, in particular in mobile networks </li>
<li>Collaboration in (distributed) multi-user
virtual environments </li>
<li>Novel APIs, toolkits, and frameworks for 3D web
and associated application domains </li>
<li>Virtual humans, avatars, and complex reactive
characters </li>
<li>Motion capture for composition and streaming of
behaviors and expressions </li>
<li>Annotation, metadata, hyperlinking and semantic
web for 3D objects and scenes </li>
<li>Visual analytics based on 3D web technologies </li>
<li>Novel interactive 3D web applications in all
areas and sectors, e.g., entertainment, education,
training, cultural heritage, medicine,
smart-manufacturing / industry 4.0, information
visualization, scientific visualization,
geo-visualization, building information modeling
(BIM), and architecture. </li>
</ul>
